El Conquistador
Written & performed by Thaddeus Phillips
Directed by Tatiana Mallarino

Simultaneously a foreign film, theatre play, epic history and telenovela, ¡El Conquistador! was created on location in Bogotá, Colombia and centers around Polonio, a peasant who flees his war-ravaged village to become a soap opera star. What he finds instead is a job as the doorman of a fancy high-rise apartment building populated by crazy and exotic residents who are portrayed by some of Latin America's best TV stars (who appear via video). ¡El Conquistador! is a visually stunning, funny and moving play conceived, performed and designed by renegade theater artist Thaddeus Phillips, who collaborated with Colombia's leading TV actor and director, Victor Mallarino, to create this vivid picture of contemporary Latin America.

Sakina's Restaurant
Written & performed by Aasif Mandvi

Sakina's Restaurant is a funny and heart-warming one-man show that centers around Azgi, an Indian emigrant who comes to New York to work in a restaurant and realize the American Dream. The Obie Award winning play was written and originally performed by Aasif Mandvi in a long off-Broadway run. Through the varied perspectives of Indian-born and second generation Indian-Americans, a series of vignettes strung together by clever and touching parables follow an immigrant's impassioned and largely humorous attempts to make sense of America.
