"THE MOST EXCITING YOUNG AMERICAN COMPANY I HAVE SEEN UP HERE SO FAR THIS CENTURY!" â€" The Financial TimesAward-winning, innovative theater company The Shalimar presents a thrilling evening of brand new short plays and full scale musical numbers -- You People (Short Plays about Those People). Emerging playwrights Nastaran Ahmadi, Princess Grace statue winner Michael John Garcés, Hilly Hicks, Jr., Josh Liveright, Sharyn Rothstein; and Tommy Smith riff on what it means to be "the other" in America today. What happens when we attempt to shine a light on the outsider and end up finding ourselves?
