🎭 Hollywood Masala — A Staged Reading
📍 Fifth Third Stage, Aronoff Center
🎟 Tickets: $11 – Limited seating
🗓 Septh 16th 7:30 pm
🎭 From the creators of HSBT... now in English!
After a sold-out, laughter-filled run at the Mason Community Playhouse, HSBT — a rip-roaring comedy about immigrant life, identity, and family chaos — returns in a brand-new English adaptation, reimagined to share our stories with a wider audience.
Hollywood Masala is a heartfelt tribute to the Indian-American immigrant journey — told with humor, heart, and unapologetic desi flavor. It captures the contradictions, chaos, and charm of navigating two worlds, with characters who feel like family. At its core, it’s a love story — to the lives we’ve built here, and the roots we still carry.
This special staged reading bursts with energy: sharp dialogue, comic timing, and moving moments brought to life by a talented cast.
Whether you're from Patna or Mason, Delhi or Dayton, you'll see yourself in this story.
Join us — and bring your community. Let’s fill the Aronoff with laughter, recognition, and pride.
Performed in English, with the soul (and punchlines!) of the original intact — and now ready to be shared more widely.
🎟️ Tickets: https://www.cincinnatiarts.org/events/detail/cpi-new-voices-sept-16
Come laugh, relate, and celebrate a story that reflects our lives — our voices — our community.

What a Phenomenal Journey! Thank You, Everyone!

As the curtains closed on *Hollywood Se Bollywood Tak*, we are overwhelmed with gratitude and pride. What started as a dream turned into an unforgettable celebration of culture, community, and creativity—and none of this would have been possible without YOU!

This production grew into something truly monumental, involving over 40 people working together across acting, dancing, and technical support. Coordinating a team of this scale was no small feat, but it was a privilege to work alongside such passionate and talented individuals. Every rehearsal, every idea, and every challenge brought us closer to the magic we shared with the audience.

From our incredible 16-member cast, our vibrant 14-member dance team, to the dedicated 10+ technical crew and volunteers behind the scenes, each and every one of you brought something magical to this production. Together, we created not just a play, but an experience that resonated deeply with audiences.

A heartfelt thanks to our audience, who came out in record numbers, even traveling from places like Nashville and St. Louis! We hear you—the parking challenges on Days 2 and 3 were a testament to the overwhelming support we received. (We promise to plan for an even bigger space next time 😉.)

To the cast and crew: Thank you for your commitment, creativity, and heart. You poured your souls into this project, and the standing ovations and full houses are proof of your hard work and talent.

To our audience: Your laughter, cheers, and love made this journey so worthwhile. We hope *Hollywood Se Bollywood Tak* made you laugh, cry, and reflect on the beautiful complexities of living between two cultures.

This is just the beginning. Stay tuned for what’s next—and once again, THANK YOU for being part of our journey. ❤️
