મેલા మేళా मेळा মেলা மேளா ਮੇਲਾ
A festival of witty short plays
(each in a different Indian language, with super-titles in English)

November 14 - 22

Cubberley Theater

ABOUT THE PLAYS
Over 20 years, we have staged plays in Hindi, English and Tamil.
In November, we celebrate India's heritage by staging a bouquet
of short plays, each in a different Indian language.

The scripts are by playwrights all over the world. In addition
to being witty and humorous, these scripts lend themselves well
to translation and adaptation into Indian languages.

Each show will consist of a string of plays, and will have super-titles in English.
