“Arena Stage came to India specifically to bring their years of expertise in Washington, DC doing community education and empowerment through theater. Their program Voices of Now resonated with Indian youth, and has opened a space of cooperation and communication that did not exist before this program…This is not the first time that the U.S. Embassy and Consulates in India have used a professional theater group for arts programming. We do, however, believe that we had not before used theater primarily for educational purposes.” ~ The New Delhi Public Affairs Office at the U.S. Embassy
