Deepali Gupta's Musical Tragedy Premieres This Weekend At JACK!

Deepali Gupta's Musical Tragedy, Deepali Gupta: United States v. Gupta premieres this weekend at JACK, running November 10 - November 28, 2023.

United States v. Gupta is a musical tragedy that attempts to tell the story of Rajat Gupta. In the summer of 2012, Gupta—a former head of McKinsey—was tried, convicted, and incarcerated for insider trading.

More than a decade removed from the events of his trial, his youngest daughter, Deepali Gupta, is presenting her own version—in collaboration with director Caitlin Sullivan. Working with materials that are transcribed, remembered, and imagined, Deepali writes a play that maps a history. And yes—she's playing herself.

This effort is being stewarded by River Whittle, community liaison for Emily Johnson/Catalyst and the Branch of Knowledge.
