नेहा & Neel

Asian American theater collective Artists at Play and Latino Theater Company team up for their third collaboration in as many years with a joyous new comedy by Ankita Raturi. In this funny, heartfelt, intergenerational story about roots, family and connection, Neha (नेहा), an Indian immigrant and single mom, worries that she’s failed to pass her language and traditions down to her 17-year-old American-born son, Neel (नील). Could a cross country college tour be her last shot? If only she can convince Neel to visit the historic Hope Diamond and witness a piece of Indian history for himself, perhaps it will turn their trip into something more.
