Eli Wallach and Anne Jackson starred on Broadway in these hysterically funny one acts. A Need for Brussel Sprouts finds a middle aged actor hoping to land a TV commercial for pizza by playing opera full blast in his apartment while pretending to be the tenor. Enter the irate lady cop who lives upstairs and intends to give him a summons for disturbing the peace. They are both lonely and one thing leads to another. In A Need for Less Expertise, a couple whose marriage is on the rocks after 26 years have procured a self help audio tape designed to improve their spiritual awareness, their health and their sex life as a last ditch effort to save their marriage.
Jagriti
Jagriti is a Performance Arts space dedicated to Theatre, Music, Dance and Comedy. Founded in 2011 by Arundhati and Jagdish Raja, the space has hosted several productions from India and around the world. A 200-seat theatre, built around a full-thrust stage, it is fully equipped to cater to both artistes and audience. The main stage is designed for intimate performances with adjoining spaces for informal lectures and gatherings. Jagriti is owned and operated by the not-for-profit ART Foundation, a registered charitable trust.
The Rooftop - above the main auditorium is an open-to-sky space with a staging area that can accommodate about 50 people. A raised and walled off platform can work as a perfect area for puppet theatre. The Rooftop has a restroom and a pantry.
The Terrace - alongside the auditorium, the Terrace can accommodate about 20 people as an informal gathering area.
Lumbini - extending out from the foyer, Lumbini has a stage and an open-to-sky terraced space for about 80 people.
