Following on last season's triumphant West Coast premiere performances at Lively Arts, New York's innovative Making Books Sing returns to transform a modern masterpiece of children's fiction into a vibrant new work of musical theater. Tea with Chachaji (based on the 2003 picture-book Chachaji's Cup by Uma Krishnaswami and Soumya Sitaraman) tells the story of Neel, a contemporary Indian—American boy, and his great-uncle Chachaji, who turns an heirloom teacup into a magical repository of family memories and Hindu tales.
