Rupi Kaur invited to attend New York Stage and Film Summer Program

Andrews McMeel Universal is thrilled to announce that Rupi Kaur will participate in the 2018 New York Stage and Film’s Powerhouse Theatre Workshop. This annual seminar hosted by Vassar College allows emerging creative talent to collaborate with professional playwrights, directors, actors and designers to explore new ideas and develop new projects. Rupi will perform live readings of milk & honey, attend seminars, and work with other like-minded creators with the goal of molding her poetry collection into a theatrical performance piece. To put the magnitude of this opportunity into perspective, mega-hit musical Hamilton, Tony Award-winning one-act play The Humans, and Pulitzer Prize-winning play Doubt all started at NYSAF.

Andrews McMeel Universal is excited for this opportunity, and we look forward to the possibility of experiencing milk & honey through an entirely new lens.
