We cannot believe that's it's been 10 years of producing readings, workshops, full equity showcase productions, and events under the auspices of Desipina! It's been a crazy ride, with lots of special memories, from Seven.11s to Indian restaurants, from musical ninjas to love tales of curry. We will be posting favorite photos and lines to our Facebook page - so become a Fan and re-live those 10 years with us... And after a walk down memory lane, come join us for the future -- one filled with new stories that speak to the diverse American landscape.

We are currently developing a short musical that you may remember well from Seven.11 Convenience Theatre into a full length. Our favorite, talented duo, Samrat Chakrabarti and Sanjiv Jhaveri, are hard at work on A VERY DESI CHRISTMAS. Check out the video below of the two of them, that we made for A.R.T./New York's gala benefit.

And please help us bring the final work to the stage by donating now! It's going to take a lot to bring this wild masterpiece to the stage, so we need you! Stay tuned for its August workshop, and for our second annual Out of the Kitchen and Into the Fire series. -- Rehana Mirza & Rohi Mirza Pandya, Artistic and Producing Directors of Desipina
