STORY A wealthy family of Indian decent relocates to a small town in Minnesota for an unsurpassable job opportunity. Hilarity ensues as the tight-knit community intersects with the new residents. Emotions are high, especially when the family's teenage son falls for the small-town teenage bombshell. Will the Indian family re- think their move or will they be cooking Lutefisk and baking seven-layer bars with the locals in no time? CHARACTERS The play includes roles for 4 men and 6 women in lead roles and a few additional supporting casts. Ages listed are approximated for reference, but most of the characters' ages are less important than their ages in relationship to each other. We are committed to a socially conscious and equitable casting process. You are invited to bring your whole self. Ravi (40-45): Indian decent husband/dad. Typical IT software professional. Well to do. Interested in technology, latest gadgets, electronics and all things modern and shiny! Loves sports (especially Cricket). Leaves the running of the house to the wife. Radhika (35-45): Indian decent Wife/Mom. Very nervous, over-reactive and anxious. Worries about everything. Under confident about her own skills and abilities. Always tries her best to please everyone. She's an executor and gets work done. Rohit (can play 16-18): Indian decent son. Teenager. Quiet and shy. Excels in academics, but his true love is the arts. He's creative and expressive through art. Feels forced to go by the rules of the family and is unable to truly express himself. Sunila Aunty "Sweetie" (60-65): The Indian decent mother-in-law (Ravi's mom). Thick Indian accent, but speaks English. Nosy, curious, inquisitive and funny. She can be a trouble-maker but means well and is always good at heart. Her ways are sometimes questionable! She is always dressed in a saree. She is quite tech savvy for her age and is constantly on her ipad/ipod/phone. Is more interested in what is happening in the neighbor's place than her own! Overbearing and dominant mother figure in the family. REHEARSALS are expected to begin in Early June.
