THEY CALL ME Q – Proclaimed “A Theatrical Force” by the Orlando Weekly for her uncanny embodiment of 13 characters, Qurrat Ann Kadwani searches for identity in her autobiographical one-woman show. THEY CALL ME Q is the story of a girl from Bombay growing up in the Boogie Down Bronx who gracefully seeks balance between cultural pressure and acceptance into the 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, Indian and African-American friends.  Broadway World DC states Ms. 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 says 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. “A winning tale!” – The Village Voice.

INTRUSION – Declared “An Electrifying Performer” by Stage Buddy, over the span of an hour and through her portrayal of 8 characters, award-winning actress Qurrat Ann Kadwani evaluates the flaws in a society where rape is supposedly eradicated, helping to raise awareness about sexual violence and combat systemic oppression. Times Square Chronicles says this is “A deeply intelligent piece,” set twenty years in the future when rape has seemingly been eradicated. When one woman comes forward about her rape, we look into how we all perpetuate rape culture by exposing different sectors of society.
