Synopsis:

Even in a city as progressive as Mumbai, Hindu widows get short shrift. Deepa, clad in white and conversing only with her Lord Krishna, sees getting her daughter Tara married as her only remaining task in life. She cannot, however, resist secretly indulging in her longtime passion for Mills and Boon romances. When her son’s best friend Vinod reveals his school days crush and his true reasons for becoming complicit in this innocent transgression, a host of society-defying possibilities open up to her. Will she or won’t she? That is Deepa’s deliciously difficult dilemma.

About ENACTE ARTS INC

Location:

7 RIVERWAY UNIT 2008, HOUSTON, TX 77056, US

Mission Statement

EnActe Arts was founded in 2012 in response to the underrepresentation in theater of South Asians and their respective storytelling. It differentiated itself from other "South Asian" theater companies by being an American Contemporary Theater Company that embraces a diverse stakeholder group, casting beyond the South Asian community, and fostering collaboration.

Description

EnActe Arts is a talent incubator and a platform for engaging diverse populations in conversations on
social issues to create greater awareness and tolerance from a South Asian perspective.
Both EnActe’s performance programs and EnActe Academy are rooted in developing talent and creating
opportunities for actors, playwrights, and creative and technical production staff at any skill level and of all ages and ethnicities.
Participants of EnActe’s professional development experiences have gone on to paid professional positions, including joining the paid staff of theater and non-profit professionals at EnActe Arts.

From EnActe Art’s off stage home, known as the EnActerium, EnActe has produced and performed shows in various cities including Houston, San Francisco, San Jose, Boston, Exeter, and Seattle.
Many of these productions were presented in partnership with distinguished universities and arts organizations such as Emerson Arts College, UC Berkeley, UC Santa Cruz, Asian Art Museum (SF), Philip Exeter Academy, The Menil Collection (Houston), and Seattle Asian Art Museum.

EnActe Arts is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization co-located in Silicon Valley, California and Houston, Texas. The term 'South Asian’ is used broadly by EnActe Arts to represent the people of the greater Indian subcontinent living in the region and abroad, including the historical cultural influences of the region.
