The Sunshine Boys is Neil Simon’s timeless, laugh-out-loud hit Broadway comedy about ageing, ego, friendship, and the grudges we never quite let go of. Former ageing stars Willie and Al, once a famous comedy duo, haven't spoken in 12 years after an acrimonious fallout —until a surprise reunion forces them back together for a 'retro shoot' and into each other’s lives. What follows is a rapid-fire exchange of acrimony, wit, warmth, and wonderfully human chaos. Expect big laughs, brilliant performances, and a heart that sneaks up on you. A play for anyone who has loved deeply, argued fiercely, and laughed through it all. Performance by arrangement with Concord Theatricals,USARead More

Mooknayak brings alive the extraordinary journey of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, told in his own voice, with raw honesty and emotional force. The play takes us from his childhood wounds of being denied water, shamed in school, and cast out of society, to his rise as a fearless leader who refused to bow before the chains of caste. It captures the paradox of his foreign education and brilliance, yet the unrelenting discrimination he faced in his own land, alongside his fierce debates with Gandhi and other leaders. The drama builds toward his historic decision to embrace Buddhism—not as an escape, but as a bold act of rebirth, affirming equality and dignity for millions. Woven with moments of loneliness, family bonds, and flashes of self-reflection, “Mooknayak” is not just a biography on stage—it is a gripping story of rebellion, hope, and the unstoppable spirit of a man who chose justice over silence.Read More
