What:
Eat, Pray, Laugh!, directed by Katie Rubin, chronicles Alicia’s three-month solo trip across India in search of spiritual salvation – which turns out to look nothing like she imagined. From seductive French yoga teachers to scary Indian toilets, Alicia dishes on everything including the Italian fashion exporter with a Krishna fetish and mosquitoes the size of small ponies, to Chabad Jews on the Ganges and ultimately, the true meaning of mustaches and masala chai. Enjoy a delicious cup of chai (tasty Indian tea) and prasad (an offering of sweets) at each performance. Audience reviews here.
