Happy Holidays! This year Desipina had a season of unprecedented growth. We presented productions and readings of FOURTEEN brand new plays by Desi and East Asian writers. We launched CoLab, a collaborative writers' and actors' group that meets once a month to develop new work. Amid this whirlwind of new theater, we produced three short films, including Saving Hinduism by CoLab member Rakesh Chaudhary, which recently screened at Mahindra IAAC Film Festival. Desipina's inaugural short film, Modern Day Arranged Marriage, has gone on to international recognition including airing on MTV's LOGO Network, winning Audience Choice Award at NBC's Short Cuts Festival, and screening at festivals in London, Montreal, and across the country. Check out Highlights from our past season's on http://www.vimeo.com/431206/ PLUS more short films and videos on www.Desipina.org.

As we look towards next season, we find ourselves at a point where the opportunities we want to provide these artists far outstrips ticket sales.

So we turn to you now in the hopes that you'll make a tax-deductible charitable contribution to Desipina. With just 100 donors contributing $100 each, we can raise enough to put a deposit down on a theater for Seven.11 Year Six. Please help us continue entertaining you while putting out new cultural images that are desperately needed in this society. Please support a company that has already identified scores of talented Desi and East Asian artists. Support a company with a five year track record of innovation. Celebrate Desipina's greatest season ever, by supporting our next season. To contribute, please email us a pledge and refer to the giving levels below, some of which are named after characters from our flagship production: Seven.11. Thank you for your generosity. Every little bit helps! We do hope you'll consider this request and join our growing list of donors! You can either donate online or mail your check directly to Desipina at the address below.
