"Taconic Highway" tells the story of Manasij, a veteran Indian screen actor visiting the United States with a theater group, to stage some shows. During his first stop in New York, he is hosted by Deepak and Sharika at their multimillion dollar mansion in upstate New York.
The enthusiastic host, Deepak, expresses his desire to make a film with Manasij as the hero and their daughter Pom as the heroine. But Sharika objects to this proposal vehemently. She would never let Pom take part in this dream project of Deepak.
Manasij tries to mediate, but soon realizes that he is being pulled into a dark vortex of suspicion and animosity carefully camouflaged by the opulence and the veneer of apparent happiness of an affluent immigrant Indian family.
The reading, part of the Villagers "New Playwrights" series, will begin at 8 p.m. Directed by Noah Stanzione, it is free and open to the public. Next in the series will be "Edmonia," by Barry M. Putt Jr.
Villagers Theatre is located at 475 DeMott Lane in Somerset. For more information, visit the Villagers web site.
