"Me, Myself, and My Desis", a collection of skits, with an all-Bay area cast and crew of 25, includes both a humorous yet touching look about Indians living in America, and a commentary on their lives. Some topics include: Adjusting to life in America, Generation Gap, Arranged marriages, and some serious issues like Lives of Senior Citizens, and Date rape etc. The show is on Saturday August 18th, 8pm at the Sunnyvale Community Center Theater. 550 E. Remington Avenue, Sunnyvale.

" We found a tremendous response in all age groups for play/production in English " said Amit Garg adding,",.(although) there is a great talent performing in Indian ethnic languages in the Bay area with groups like Naatak, Maharastra Mandal, ENAD Bengali Group etc."

Sam Rao, of ICSC, who are sponsoring the show, said, "This fits well with our mission of supporting youth programs. We are especially pleased that all ages including Seniors are an integral part of this production. We had a great response to the call for auditions (recently) & we had folks calling to volunteer purely for production like set design, backstage help etc. This is great for the future of local drama productions in the Bay area."
