(PLAINFIELD, NJ) -- Dragonfly Multicultural Arts Center, a community theater in residence at duCret Center of Art, located at 1030 Central Ave, Plainfield, New Jersey, presented India Pale Ale, a drama about a Punjabi Indian family in Wisconsin. Photographer John Posada was on hand to take photos.

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.

The cast includes actors Alisha Sheth as Boz, Harsh Arora as Vishal, Divya Khanna as Lovi, Anil Joseph as Sunny, Malini Waghray as Simran, Arvind Vashisht as Iggy, Robert Podolak as Tim, Natasha Agrawal as Deepa, and Sheetal Sharma as Dadi.
