This Women’s Storytelling Salon™, entitled Curtain Up: South Asian Women’s Stories of Resilience and Perseverence in Film & Theater, will feature Priyanka Shetty (writer and performer of THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM, coming up at Keegan this June) and Sangeeta Agrawal, two outstanding women who are not only actors but also directors, playwrights, and filmmakers!
It’s hard enough being a woman in film and theater in America, so imagine being a woman actor trying navigate life as an immigrant in a politically charged America! How do you get cast as a woman of color if there are no roles written for you, or because you aren’t the right color for a specific role? Find out how our storytellers became actors and then began to write and direct stories that focus on their own lived experience. Join us to learn about the journeys of these two internationally acclaimed actors, directors, and writers, and to celebrate South Asian women who are not only emerging, they are arriving!
If you cannot attend the Salon in person, you can register to watch it later; a secure link to the Salon video recording will be shared with you after the Salon has ended.

The writers of Keegan’s hit hip-hop musical PUSH THE BUTTON present a one-night-only performance of their original two-man show! Nominated for a 2020 Helen Hayes Award for its World Premiere at Keegan and named 2019 “Best of Fringe” at the Charm City Fringe Festival in Baltimore, FROM GUMBO TO MUMBO features a New Orleanian science teacher turned rhyme speaker (Drew Anderson) and a dreadlock-rocking Southeast DC b-boy (Dwayne Lawson-Brown) who together conjure a dynamic cauldron of hip hop, poetry, and theatre. They dig into what it means to be authentic, question the culture and politics of today, and ultimately celebrate love and the search for home.
