    “ All characters have great voice and senses of themselves. Tension regarding their identities is revealed with humor, making for a fast-moving, funny play! ”

    “ I first met Madhuri through the Alliance/Kendeda program where I saw the world premiere of IN LOVE AND WARCRAFT, and have since fallen in love with her warm, sharply drawn characters. Her worlds are punchy, funny, and real, and I am such a fan of this play and her voice. ”

    “ Madhuri is fantastically skilled at juxtaposing the familiar with unfamiliar, ultimately presenting stories that creep up on you unexpectedly... A Nice Indian Boy is such a story. Hilarious and punchy and heartfelt. ”
