Four years later, she and her three close friends—Ruth Goodwin (The Howland Company), Liz Johnston (The Second City), and acclaimed director Ravi Jain (Why Not Theatre/The Stratford Festival) come together to create a deeply personal storytelling stage show reflecting Shruti’s experiences, and her relationship with theatre before and after her stroke.
