If you're in the mood for a good show this weekend, you're in luck! South Texas College Theater is starting their summer performances with a family theater production of Tea Time by Mitch Harris.
The play explores the tale of Prashanth, a young man born and raised in India, who longs for something more. Through interactions with strangers, friends, family, and tea, Prashanth attempts to discover his place in his rapidly changing world. Written by Mitch Harris of the Austin-based Transit Theatre Troupe, the play is based on Harris's own experiences working at an all-boys orphanage in Bangalore, India in the summer of 2012.
The play will be performed at the Pecan Campus Cooper Center for Communication Arts Black Box Studio Theatre in McAllen. The show runs from June 20th to the 22nd at 7:30 p.m., with a Sunday Matinee on June 23rd at 2 p.m. General admission is $5 and tickets can be purchased one hour before the performance - either at the box office or online at
