The Yoga Play by Dipika Guha
Directed by Theatre Arts Associate Professor Sukanya Chakrabarti
Performed in the Hal Todd Theatre
Joan has been hired to stabilize Jojomon, a yoga apparel giant, after its CEO is brought down by a fat-shaming scandal. But just as she finds her stride, more trouble surfaces and sales plummet. Joan comes up with a plan so risky that it could make or break the company and her career—and what it requires from her CFO, Raj, is far beyond the call of duty. This sharp comedy asks what it takes to find your own authenticity in a world determined to sell enlightenment.
“Comic nirvana…the show [has] an uncommon comic electricity, an aliveness to the present moment that’s only possible in live theater.” – San Francisco Chronicle
“A well-polished romp…Yoga Play is that welcome commodity, a fresh new comedy with a sharp cultural bite that may be educational as well as entertaining.” – LA Times
Presented in part by SJSU College of Humanities and Arts 2023-2024 AEPG (Artistic Excellence Programming Grants)
