originally published: 09/01/2023


(PLAINFIELD, NJ) -- Dragonfly Multicultural Arts Center, a community theater in residence at duCret Center of Art, located at 1030 Central Ave, Plainfield, New Jersey, will present India Pale Ale, a drama about a Punjabi Indian family in Wisconsin. Directed by Priya Iyer, India Pale Ale will be presented on September 15th at 8:00pm, September 16th at 8:00pm, and September 17th at 3:00pm.

In a quaint Wisconsin town, a close-knit Punjabi community comes together to celebrate the wedding of a traditional family’s sole son, just as their determined daughter reveals her plans to move away and open a bar. Amidst festivities filled with music and dancing, one generation’s cherished customs collide with the modern-day desires of another. Ancestors and pirates from the family’s past linger in their minds – until an unforeseen tragedy changes everything.
