SUMMARY:Dhaba on Devon Avenue – Open Caption Performance at Writers Theatre
DESCRIPTION:OPEN CAPTION PERFORMANCE on THURSDAY\, JULY 10 at 7:30PM! $30.00 tickets with code WTOC2425. *If you are experiencing any issues with applying the promo code\, please reach out to the box office at 847-242-6000* \nDhaba Canteen has been a stalwart institution on Chicago’s Devon Avenue since the ‘80s\, serving up delicious Sindhi food with the power to transport diners back to the halcyon days of undivided India. Times are changing\, however. With the bank threatening foreclosure and Chef Neeraj’s health in decline\, the restaurant may soon be cooking up its last meal—unless sous chef Rita can convince her father to let her take over the kitchen. Rich with culinary tradition and dramatic twists\, Dhaba on Devon Avenue serves up a searing Chicago-set story of family\, legacy\, and survival at all costs.
