"I wish there were a place we could just be - and not be a representative of our culture."

A Beat of Our Own

Director's Note

A Beat of Our Own (aka Bhangin' It, aka Bhangra Nation) is a captivating and joyous original musical that I've been a part of since 2022. This new work (with a brand new title) has been on an exciting and ever evolving journey of out-of-town tryouts. New works - especially original musicals - require space and time for R&D. A Beat of Our Own is a prime example of a musical that continues to evolve and grow through the process of various readings, workshops, and productions.
