A joyous new comedy by Ankita Raturi, नेहा & Neel, will open this Saturday, October 18, in a co-production between Asian American theater collective Artists at Play and Latino Theater Company, directed by Lily Tung Crystal.

The play follows Neha (नेहा), an Indian immigrant and single mother who fears she’s failed to pass her language and traditions down to her 17-year-old American-born son, Neel (नील). When a college road trip turns into an unexpected search for roots, history, and connection, Neha hopes a visit to the historic Hope Diamond might rekindle their shared heritage.

Parvesh Cheena, Achintya Pandey, and Pia Shah star in this heartfelt and funny exploration of family, love, and identity that bridges generations and cultures.
