Dragonfly Multicultural Arts presents "India Pale Ale" - a play about family, pirates, and beer

(PLAINFIELD, NJ) -- Dragonfly Multicultural Arts Center, a community theater in residence at duCret Center of Art, located at 1030 Central Ave, Plainfield, New Jersey, will present India Pale Ale, a drama about a Punjabi Indian family in Wisconsin. Directed by Priya Iyer, India Pale Ale will be presented on September 15th at 8:00pm, September 16th at 8:00pm, and September 17th at 3:00pm.

In a quaint Wisconsin town, a close-knit Punjabi community comes together to celebrate the wedding of a traditional family’s sole son, just as their determined daughter reveals her plans to move away and open a bar. Amidst festivities filled with music and dancing, one generation’s cherished customs collide with the modern-day desires of another. Ancestors and pirates from the family’s past linger in their minds – until an unforeseen tragedy changes everything.

This cast includes actors Alisha Sheth as Boz, Harsh Arora as Vishal, Divya Khanna as Lovi, Anil Joseph as Sunny, Malini Waghray as Simran, Arvind Vashisht as Iggy, Robert Podolak as Tim, Natasha Agrawal as Deepa, and Sheetal Sharma as Dadi.
