Naatak

The Bay Area is home to one of the largest Indian-American communities in the country – and to one of the largest Indian-American theater companies: Naatak. This year Naatak is celebrating its 20th anniversary and putting on "Vrindavan," an original musical production. KQED sat in as the company held its final dress rehearsal.
