When January Feels Like Summer was developed at both City Theatre's Momentum '08 Festival and the 2008 Sundance Institute Theatre Lab. Here's how City Theatre bills the show: "Hindi goes hip-hop, homeboys become heroes, a gallant garbage man rescues a shopkeeper in distress and Ishan transforms into Indira with the swipe of a lipstick. Unexpected love heats up the new year as African-American, Indian-American and transgender cultures collide in this comic whirlwind."

Performances play City Theatre's Main Stage.

The design team includes Anne Mundell (scenic), Ange Vesco (costume), Allen Hahn (lighting) and Rob Kalpowitz (sound). City Theatre is at 1300 Bingham Street on Pittsburgh's South Side. Tickets and information are available at (412) 431-CITY (2489) or CityTheatreCompany.org.
