I Am Parvati Patel: A New Play
Donation protected
"I Am Parvati Patel" is a student written work that tells the story of being without in life. Anjali, a college student, has turned to sex work in order to pay her semester bills and make ends meet at home. Confiding in only her pimp, Randy, she manages to keep her two worlds separate until her Professor shows up as a client one night. Told through the voices of her ‘Selves’, Anjali must travel down a road she doesn’t want to, and who knows what will become of her at the end of it?
Sara Ramsawak, the playwright and producer, is a Junior Playwriting and Screenwriting and Arts Management double major at Purchase College. In her newest play, she explores the question of what it means to be 'free', what it means to be human, what it means to be female, and what it means to live in this time of fear and prejudice and hate.
Written and Produced by: Sara Ramsawak
Directed by: Erin Michelitsch
Assitant Directed by: Lisa Bumpus
Stage Managed by: Michael Jorge
This is a play that pays homage to the many strong women that came before us, the ones that we all strive to become, and the ones we will pave the way for in the future. This play is also dedicated to Bollywood actresses from the 20th and 21st century that were and still are some of the most memorable women in Indian culture. These women that grace the silver screen with their beauty and talent are objectified constantly for the sake of selling films. Though the Bollywood industry has changed in the last two decades, we must never forget the legacy left by these iconic women, and the one being carried by today's Bollywood heroines.
We are aiming to raise $600 to cover the costs of lighting, costumes, props and other basic things we will need for the production. We would like to reach our goal by April 6th.
Any donation of any amount would be more than helpful and greatly appreciated. This production is independent and has a cast and crew made up of all students that take an interest in theater arts from Purchase College. In order to do what we do, we need help from other passionate and supportive people to enable us to tell this story.
