ABOUT THE SHOW

MRS. KRISHNAN is renting an apartment to larger-than-life college student James, aka "DJ Jimmy J." 

James has invited a few friends into the back room of MRS. KRISHNAN’S corner shop as a special surprise to celebrate Onam—an ancient Hindu festival of Kerala that celebrates rice harvest—and the return home of her son. 

But when dozens and dozens of strangers turn up (the audience), MRS. KRISHNAN has no choice but to throw the party of her life. 

This is an immersive experience like no other; join the party with music, dancing, and more. 

Watch as the cast juggles cooking, music, and welcoming guests in an unfolding drama where no two performances are ever the same.

From Indian Ink Theatre Company comes this immersive and utterly disarming new comedy that celebrates life, death, and rebirth.
