The Old Globe has announced the cast and creative team for the upcoming world premiere of House of India, written by Deepak Kumar and directed by Zi Alikhan. Performances will run May 10-June 1 in the Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre, with an official opening May 15.

The cast will include Supriya Ganesh (The Pitt, Grown-ish) as Vaidehi, Mahira Kakkar (Henry 6, Life of Pi) as Ananya, Deven Kolluri (Monsoon Wedding, Drunk Enough to Say I Love You?) as Vikram, and Tommy Bo (Snow in Midsummer, The Far Country) as Jacob. Understudies Parth Kichloo, Giancarlo Lugo, and Sutheshna Mani complete the company. Casting is by tbd casting co's Stephanie Yankwitt & Margaret Dunn. 

House of India follows Ananya, who runs a once-successful restaurant in a strip mall outside of Cleveland. Her cook Jacob has an idea to bring in more customers: ditch the traditional dishes and embrace a trendy, fusion-forward menu.

The creative team will include scenic designr Chika Shimizu, costume designer Rodrigo Munoz, lighting designer Cha See, sound designer Fan Zhang, and production stage manager Evelyn G. Myers.

“The Old Globe’s 2025 lineup continues with a world premiere play that’s moving and meaningful,” Erna Finci Viterbi Artistic Director Barry Edelstein said in a statement. “House of India asks fascinating and deep questions about identity and Americanness as it reminds us that immigrant communities are the engines that forge our national culture. Deepak Kumar cannily uses food and cuisine as a way to consider authenticity, assimilation, and change, and he simultaneously makes an American family play that’s truly touching and very funny. This is a special work, and director Zi Alikhan partners with Kumar to make a production of unusual richness in our intimate Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre. They’ve gathered a phenomenal cast of major stage talents and together these artists will make a memorable evening of theatre in San Diego.”
