Dear me, dear you, dear us,
We did it. It’s taken a week to process but here we are - post successful Off-Broadway run. We had two completely sold out nights and three incredibly powerful shows.
The girl that has always found peace in dancing, a home on stage and a family in theater grew up and made her dreams come true.
7 days in a blackbox theater working with some of the most wonderful people. They were long days but each time curtain went up, we created magic. It was magic.
“On Behalf of Us” was a manifestation of the values and expansive imagination I hold and that deaf&mumbles holds. From the stage crew, to the production team, to the audience, it was for, by and with Black and Brown artists. I cried hearing multiple languages on stage. I cried listening to Bangladeshi women speak about women empowerment. I cried looking out into the audience connecting with different parts of themselves. I loved every moment of it.
Thank you to for being part of “On Behalf of Us.” More posts coming related to each show and the teams behind them.
This is just the beginning of what can happen when we allow our imaginations to run free unhindered by societal limitations because we come together in collective power.
🥂 to us forever and always.
With love and compassion,
Suswana Sohinee Chowdhury
