The Vanity, Vengeance, and the Truth Behind the Fall of Vijayanagara - one of the greatest empires in history.
It is not a clash of faiths. Not a black-and-white war between empires. But the story of the fragile, bleeding egos of the men who were in it. Step into the shadows of the Deccan plateau with Girish Karnad’s final masterpiece, Crossing to Talikota. This is not a simple tale of Hindu versus Muslim. Karnad's last hurrah exposes a far more gripping reality. Directed by Anand Rao. Featuring fierce talent and a passionate crew, this epic on-stage production is the very first outside India and certainly not to be missed. Only a few tickets left. Saturday, June 20, at 6:30, and Sunday, June 21, at 3:30. Grab your seat before it's gone. www.colab-arts.org

One phone call. One sealed apartment. One dinner party where hospitality turns into paranoia. When grad student Shanta begs her employers for a place to sleep, the Tewaris have to decide: who’s the real threat — the infestation, the exterminators, or the strangers at their door?
"The Infestation" : A scalpel-sharp play about borders — between nations, between homes, between classes, between the selves we present and the fears we keep behind locked doors.
