East West Players, San Francisco’s EnActe Arts and New York City’s Hypokrit Productions present three virtual world premieres of The Sitayana (Or “How to Make an Exit”) by Lavina Jadhwani.

“The Sitayana is an artful transposition of the Hindu epic The Ramayana told from Sita’s point of view” says an East West Players spokesperson. “Part epic tale, part coming of age story, The Sitayana is the ultimate breakup play.”

Audiences attending the livestreamed viewings will be given the choice of one of three unique incarnations of Sita: Amar Chitra Sita, Sita’s Mehndi Party, or Sita’s Slumber Party.

CAST:

Nikita Chaudhry (Sita’s Slumber Party)
Sheetal Gandhi (Sita’s Mehndi Party)
Minita Gandhi (Amar Chitra Sita)
