Halcyon Theatre’s Alcyone Festival will be opening in June! We have started a funding campaign to help us bring you the best festival we possibly can. Currently the single biggest obstacle is space. Rehearsal spaces and performance space for fully mounting a five show festival are about $10,000. That’s our goal. Other funding will take care of paying people, sets, costumes, lights etc. However helping to create a safe space for these extraordinary women to soar is the biggest way you can help!

 

Performing at our Party on Saturday, May 21, at 10:00 p.m. with Bollywood Lessons to Follow!

Rasaka Theatre is honored to support Halcyon on Saturday, May 21, with:

“Bombay in my Soul”

Directed by Kamal Hans. Written and choreographed by Kareem Khubchandani

Sheila wants to be a Bollywood star, so she leaves her love and the village in search of stardom. During her journey she meets the “madam”, the “casting couch”, and must challenge the current leading lady in a dance/off. With many twists and turns, Rasaka’s tribute to Bollywood keeps you entranced with Bollywood Songs/Dance and action.

Featuring: Minita Gandhi, Kamal Hans, Kareem Khubchandani, Ranvijay Raazdan, Alka Nayyar and Vyjayanthi Vadrevu
