Help send Fish Eyes to India – this Sunday

The Dora-nominated Fish Eyes is back for an encore, one-night-only performance to raise funds for its December trip to India’s Other Festival.

It’s the story of Meena, an exceptional Indian dancing teenager who would trade it all in just to be a “normal” high school girl. Luckily Kalyani Aunty (her spunky, pro-India dance teacher) is still around to remind Meena of the importance of embracing her origins and her talents through Bollywood absurdity and laughter.

Catch the show that celebrates the joys of heritage and heartaches of youth. Don’t miss this last chance to see what everyone has been talking about!

16 Ryerson Ave (north of Queen St., east of Bathurst St.)
Tickets: $15 (plus applicable service charges)
