The Summer Solo Series Presents The One Night Return Of SAKINA'S RESTAURANT With Aasif Mandvi 7/28

The Summer Solos Series (Scott Morfee and Darren Lee Cole, producers), a celebration of the best in solo performance and shows by acclaimed playwrights and performers, presents the one-night only return of the Obie Award-winning play Sakina's Restaurant, written and performed by Aasif Mandvi on Tuesday evening, July 28, 2009 at 8:00 p.m. Immediately following the performance there will be a brief reception with the artist in the Huron Club, located inside the Soho Playhouse.

Sakina's Restaurant is a funny and heart-warming one-man show that centers around Azgi, an Indian emigrant who comes to New York to work in a restaurant and to realize the American dream. The Obie Award-winning play was written and originally performed by Aasif Mandvi and received critical-acclaimed when it premiered Off-Broadway at the American Place Theater in 1998. Through the varied perspectives of Indian-born and second generation Indian-Americans, a series of vignettes strung together by clever and touching parables follow an immigrant's impassioned and largely humorous attempts to make sense of America
