Priyanka receives a generous grant from National Endowment of the Arts for the development of THE WALL, the third and final play in her Triptych of Solos.
Priyanka’s third play in her Triptych of Solos THE WALL was awarded a generous grant by the National Endowment of the Arts. This grant would enable her to develop her latest play with Theatre Horizon in Norristown, PA by engaging with immigrant communities in Norristown. Priyanka’s solo performance project The Wall will explore the international immigrant experience in the wake of significant world events that carry social, political, and humanitarian implications. The development process will include interviews with Norristown’s immigrant community, virtual interviews with immigrants in India and the United Kingdom, and public readings and performances of the work in progress. Theatre Horizon has also supported Priyanka’s work by featuring her solo show The Elephant in the Room in their 2023/24 season.
THE WALL will have public readings of excerpts from the play in Norristown, PA at Theatre Horizon in May 2025. For more information visit theatrehorizon.org.
Congratulations to Priyanka on receiving the NEA grant! Supporting the arts and sharing immigrant stories is so important, and it’s inspiring to see projects like THE WALL come to life. On a self-care note, after long days of creative work, I’ve found using something like Hydrating Body Soufflé 8oz really helps me unwind and keep my skin nourished while staying focused.
What an incredible milestone for Priyanka and The Wall! Highlighting immigrant voices through powerful solo performances is both timely and impactful. While art opens hearts, wellness also matters—many in our community turn to Best Selling CBD Products in Pinellas Park to manage daily stress and maintain balance while navigating big life transitions.
