THE STORIES WE BRING

How do we relate to the stories we grew up with after we’ve left our homeland?

A creative workshop for women at the South Asian Community Center in Jackson Heights

A FREE weekly workshop for women at the South Asian Community Center that explores the stories we grew up with in our home countries.

We’ll then use theater to create & share a new story that is a reflection of our community now.
