cleveland PUBLIC theatre Presents The Elephant In the Room<https://www.cptonline.org/performances/seasons/2024-2025/the-elephant-in-the-room/> by Priyanka Shetty November 14 through November 17, 2024 Cleveland Public Theatre (CPT) presents the Midwest debut of the critically acclaimed The Elephant in the Room by Priyanka Shetty in partnership with the Federation of India Community Associations<https://www.ficacleveland.org/>. Unapologetically Indian, Irreverently American, "One-Woman Wonder" Priyanka Shetty's The Elephant in the Room is a witty, dark comedy about just your typical Indian metalhead and software-engineer-turned-actor who must navigate life as an immigrant arriving in Trump's America. When Priyanka makes the bold move to defy her family by quitting her IT job and moving to the U.S. to pursue an acting career, things don’t quite turn out how she imagined. The play navigates Priyanka's real-life journey as she transitions from her deeply embedded roots in India to finding context and common ground in America. Gear up for a funny, tumultuous ride through immiscible cultures, unforgettable love, irreparable loss, and the desperation of not belonging anywhere.  *Actor appears courtesy of Actors' Equity Association, the Union of Professional Actors and Stage Managers in the United States.
