Long Beach’s Resident Professional theatre company, International City Theatre, presents the world premiere of Masala Dabba by Wendy Graf. Directed by Marya Mazor, Secrets, lies, and unresolved conflicts play out against a background of familial memories of food and cooking.

A deeply felt family drama where food is love, loss, and a portal into the past. Long-buried truths surface through stories inspired by each of the spices in a grandmother’s masala dabba, an Indian spice box. Though Masala Dabba focuses on an Indian/African American family, all families can see themselves in the stories about the past, culture, identity, and the choices we make.
