Dear Respected Sir or Madam,

Shunya Theatre is a Houston-based 501(c)(3) non-profit theatre troupe, dedicated to providing a voice to
The South Asian community.

Shunya literally means “zero, nothing, or emptiness” in Sanskrit. The name comes from the Buddhist concept of “nothing”
as the ultimate goal of realization. The Buddhist shunya, the Hindu brahman, and the Jain atman are all closely linked. In India,
theatre traditions have always been intertwined with spiritual pursuits. Further, the name also alludes to Peter Brook’s (whose
production of the Hindu epic the Mahabharata won him both acclaim and controversy) concept of “the empty space”. The theatre
is shunya or “empty” until we come together as artists and patrons to bring it to life with our collective imagination. When you start
with nothing, anything is possible.

We would like to extend a warm invitation to you to be a Benefactor for Shunya Theatre. As a $1,000 Underwriter, you will receive
