About the Show

Part coming-of-age tale, part social commentary, and part comedy, this new solo performance grapples with what it means to be an immigrant at a time when the country can't stop talking about it.

From the show

Inspired by Bramhandkar's experiences in America after moving from Mumbai to rural Upstate New York, American Rookie brings to life the joy, humor, and pain of the assimilation process — from mimicking 80's fashion and studying Judy Blume books to constructing a new American persona altogether.

Don't see it if You are in denial that people say ridiculous things to people of color. Or better yet, DO.
