Casting Call for December Ensemble Comedy Stage Production: A Tale of Sibling Festivities

Join us for a heartwarming stage show centered around two siblings, Syed and Sani, as they navigate celebrating Xmas and Eid on the same day at their family home. With their mother reluctant to join the festivities, Syed's wife, Paris, hopes to rekindle old flames between Sani and their childhood friend, Jay, who she invites over for the dual celebration. Her ultimate goal? To bring Syed back to the present moment and make this occasion memorable.

Expect an entertaining mix of Xmas cheer, Eid delicacies, Bollywood tunes, and whimsical imagination. But will the magic of love spark once more?
