THE INDIANS ARE COMING TO DINNER Opens At PRT 1/21

This World Premiere Comedy about art and ambition pits a father's aspirations and a daughter's dreams against one another – in this new play about family, politics, opera and understanding. Written by Jennifer W. Roland and directed by Julia Fletcher, this is the third show of their 25th season.

JENNIFER W. ROWLAND's (playwright) other plays include ANYONE ELSE BUT ME, ONE GOOD DEATH, THE SCHOOL PLAYS, GOLF SHOP ROMANCE, THE CONTEST and ICE GIRL IN BUNGALOW B.

Jennifer serves on the Board of Direc­tors of Cornerstone Theater, which produces community based the­ater with underserved groups.
