‘House of India’

This world premiere comedy features a vibrant cast of characters who work to build a restaurant, a legacy and a new kind of American Dream. Ananya runs House of India, a once-successful restaurant in a strip mall outside of Cleveland. Her cook Jacob has an idea to bring in more customers: ditch the traditional dishes and embrace a trendy, fusion-forward menu (think “Indian Chipotle”). Her two grown children have their own views too. As the bills and worries pile up, Ananya must choose: hold on to her late husband’s vision, or compromise in the name of progress. Runs through June 8 at the Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre Conrad Prebys Theatre Center.
