@sushmasahahaha ! Pronoun inclusive, he’s currently in “The Lunchbox” at
@berkeleyrep , and I couldn’t be more proud 🥹.
Amazing with accents and a true triple threat, Sushma won “Outstanding Performance in a Leading Role” at the New York Musical Theatre Festival in 2018 and went on to perform in
@interstatemusical and play Wilson in the #broadway revival of
@1776musical . He, recently, played Sajida In “Maybe You Could Love Me” at
@theatermu and Joan in “Fun Home” at
@huntingtontheatre .

4. Going on for Col. Thomas McKean in “1776” at
@roundaboutnyc in his #jhumka earrings. “Jhumka’s origins are traced to the carved jewellery on sculptures of Chola Dynasty temples in South India. Under the Mughal Empire, the jhumka underwent further evolution to make the design more opulent. The jhumka has remained one of the most popular types of jewellery in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal.”
