The Clay Cart

Welcome to India! The Clay Cart is the first non western play that OSF has produced. Thanks to New Artistic Director, Bill Rauch, Katie's hero. When she learned that OSF was doing a 2000 year old play from India, she was thrilled!

Katie and I were lucky to meet the choreographer, her daughter and the dramaturg for the show. Did I mention that they were originally from India? Or that the choreographer's daughter is a UCLA grad. Small world.
