Description
-
Promotional graphic created for the staged reading of The Employee Dharma Handbook at TheatreWorks Silicon Valley’s 2025 New Works Festival. Set at a Silicon Valley aerospace company on the brink of a major rocket launch, the play follows Val, an HR executive who suspects that Leela, a young Indian American engineer, has been denied a promotion due to bias. As corporate leadership navigates pressure, loyalty, and reputation, questions of sexism, hierarchy, and immigrant identity surface. Drawing on the concept of dharma, the work interrogates competing obligations to self, community, and institution within contemporary tech culture.
