A NICE INDIAN BOY by Madhuri  Shaker
Rasaka Theatre Company, Midwest Premiere
"provides many different angles on a nice family doing its best to adjust to changing times without losing its heart or its head."
Chicago Tribune

"For a play that touches on serious issues, it is deceptively wrapped in the casing of a light, loving comedy, and this seems the best way to break the ice on such topics. “A Nice Indian Boy” is an enjoyable, yet effective, piece of art "
NewCity

" warm, funny, and nicely paced"
Chicago Reader

" the quintet [of Actors] are completely comfortable with their well-contrasted roles, delivering invigorating freshness"
 Stage and Cinema

"the intelligence reflected in Shekar's progress on the never-smooth road to enlightenment is to be commended. The Rasaka Theatre cast members sustain the tone under the direction of Anna C. Bahow, and deliver performances mirroring honest responses to honest questions with never a hint of sitcom caricature. Audiences of all ethnicities will see reflections of their own kin in this warm-hearted portrait.
