Upakar Open House was a hit!

Thanks to all of you who attended the Upakar Foundation Open House. Nice to see a mixture of old and new faces at the event.

Our President and Chairman gave great presentations on why you should stay or become involved in the organization. The need is growing, and our current resources are limited. And Upakar welcomes new blood with open arms.

Anu Yadav presented a powerful excerpt of her upcoming play Meena's Dream. You can see the full play -- highly recommended -- on December 1 at Arena Stage and February 1-2 at UMD.
