I’m quoted in this wonderful American Theatre Magazine article about the Alliance Theatre’s Kendeda playwriting contest. The Kendeda kickstarted my career and gave ‘In Love and Warcraft’ the success that it’s enjoying right now. The Alliance is maybe my second home, and I am so lucky to count Celise Kalke as a friend and mentor.

“Celise and Susan have welcomed me into the Alliance family in the most amazing way,” Shekar said. “I call the Alliance my own personal Disneyland, because the people there have been just that wonderful to me.”
