We are looking for a volunteer to design a brochure to introduce The Lake Effect to the South Asian community in Chicago.
About the Play:
In a depressed Cleveland neighborhood amidst a fierce winter storm, an Indian American brother and sister, long estranged, are reunited by the sudden death of their father.

The Lake Effect sets in motion a complicated web of relationships and plot twists that challenge our perceptions of race, gender, and material success.
