🎭 House of India by Deepak Kumar is an award-winning play that premiered at the Old Globe in San Diego in 2025. This year, Leela - An Indian Community Theatre is proud to present the Texas premiere of this heart-warming dramedy in English.The Story:
In memory of her late husband, Ananya runs “House of India,” the last remaining restaurant in a once-flourishing Asian strip mall outside of Cleveland. All around her are pressures to change – from her finances, from her kids, and most persistently, from Jacob, a Thai-American entrepreneur (and current cook at the restaurant) who is determined to convert the traditional restaurant into a nationwide fast-casual Indo-fusion franchise. When things come to a head, Ananya must make a choice: give up on her husband's “American dream” and close up shop, or compromise on her values to stay afloat? A play about South Indian food, familial expectations, and figuring out what really makes a "House" a home.
