Step Inside, Scene 1
It is with great pleasure that Shunya announces its cast for the upcoming August show – Partition. Over the next few months as we prepare for the show, we will be sharing experiences, opinions, and other outrageous happenings in and around the rehearsal room.
But to jump start things, we want to invite all of you to step inside Avant Garden on Saturday, May 4th from 7 PM until they kick us out. You can meet members of the cast and crew and learn how you can become involved with this particular show and with the organization as a whole. We’ll have food and drinks – but more importantly there’s an open stage and microphone, because that’s what it’s all about. Step in and step up and tell us what you’re thinking about. You can sing, hum, act, fly, juggle, slam, or twiddle your thumbs. Whatever puts some fire in your step and some zip in your soul.
We look forward to seeing you May 4th and continuing the conversation!
Partition by Ira Hauptman. Opens August 2nd @ 14 Pews! Featuring: Taher Lokhandwala, John Kaiser, Bradley Winkler, Anjana Menon, and Jeff Dorman!

Webb (Director of Shunya’s production of Art), and the Assistant Director is Anjana Menon (AD for Art and actor, The Prophet and the Poet).
