Rohit Chokhani is the Artistic Director for Diwali in BC and an Artistic Associate at Bard on the Beach 2017.

At Prismatic 2017, Devprayag Collective will present a reading of excerpts from its new play in development, “The Altar of Us”, a theatre work that reveals the clash of cultures existing amidst their union as it raises interesting questions around culture, race and gender.
