Penn State Altoona will host a performance of "They Call Me Q" at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 12, in the Pond View Lounge of the Slep Student Center.
"They Call Me Q" tells the story of a girl from Bombay growing up in the Boogie Down Bronx who gracefully seeks balance between cultural pressure and acceptance into American culture. Along the journey, Qurrat Ann Kadwani transforms into 13 characters that have shaped her life, including her Indian parents, Caucasian teachers, Puerto Rican classmates, and Indian and African American friends.
Broadway World DC states Kadwani has "an undeniable talent for accents and gives the audience a theatrical experience that it will remember far after the show." Laden with heart and abundant humor, a coming-of-age tale that the Montreal Gazette said is "witty, polished, inspiring," "They Call Me Q" gives voice to all the universal struggles for identity and self-understanding that are experienced by immigrants of all nationalities.
