Roop is torn between pleasing his hard-working immigrant parents and living the less traditional life of a typical Canadian college student.
Already avoiding a marriage his mother is trying to arrange for him to a perfectly lovely Indian girl named Neetu, Roop learns that an old friend of his father's has arrived in the country with his daughter, who recently enrolled at his school.
Roop is intrigued. If he must agree to an arranged marriage to keep the peace, might the newcomer be a better match for him than his mother's initial choice, whom he barely knows? How can he meet and get to know her without Neetu's family finding out? Perhaps a new friend he meets on campus, Preet, can help him untangle his complicated personal life.
Find out what happens when the different cultures and generations collide. Written as an entertaining and insightful stage play about a family of South Asian immigrants, Crossings takes you on a heartfelt journey through the tenuous world of cultural heritage and brings the nuances of each societal group to life in a uniquely personal way.

Reviews:
This play magically captures the emotions and stresses of different generations of immigrant families adapting to their new country while retaining ties to their old. The characters all ring true, and the nuances of the dialogue hint at questions of "what might have been" against the problem of "what happens now." An easy to read, hard to put down volume. These characters stay will you, even when you close the cover. Sue Perry
A delightfully engaging and warm hearted depiction of a modern day Panjabi Indian family! Wonderfully written in the format of a play, the story brings to life a rich ensemble of characters with a story that touches the heart and resonates truthfully and powerfully. An added touch of mystery at the end leaves the reader wanting more…perhaps one day to see it come to life on stage! zinnia77
