“Merchants” is a classic tale that depicts the clash between generations when a daughter breaks free of family tradition to create her own voice, depicted by upwards of 40 performers. The show, which blends folk, classical, modern, Western and Indian dance styles and captures the magic of Bollywood, has reportedly been seen by more than two million people in audiences worldwide.
Tickets for Merchants of Bollywood are $35, with discounts for seniors, RIC faculty/staff/students/alumni, and children. Call 456-8144 between 10am-4pm, reserve online at www.ric.edu/pfa, or in person at the Roberts Hall Box Office, which will open for sales two hours prior to performance start time.
