The Elephant in the Room is a dark comedy written by and featuring Priyanka Shetty. The story centers on the experiences of an Indian metalhead and software engineer-turned-actor navigating life as an immigrant in Trump's America.

The show will be presented at the Cleveland Public Theatre from November 14 to November 17, 2024.
