LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF MARRYING A BIG-BREASTED AMERICAN WOMAN
Originally conceived by Anupam Kher, when small-town Punjabi farmer, Balwant Singh, is persuaded by his opportunistic cousin to come to America for work, he enlists the help of his American pen-pal, Elizabeth Ellis…by offering her ten thousand dollars to marry him. Through the ups-and-downs of marriage, divorce, social mobility and earning a national identity, these two must traverse the difficulties of achieving the American Dream and, perhaps even more difficult, love.

POGO
POGO is a play in three short acts that examines the artistic credibility of serial killer John Wayne Gacy. Gacy made a name for himself as one of the most successful and dangerous serial killers of all time, but it was his famous prison painting, ‘Pogo Says Goodbye’ that made us question our own morals and standards. Was Gacy an artist? Or does his work just speak to our misplaced and unchecked idolatry?
