SHOW
Almost a thousand audience members. Hundreds of performers and crew. Multiple acts. One night.
The SASA Show is the largest cultural show on campus.
The SASA Show is the centerpiece of SASA’s creative programming — a student-led production
that sells out Mandel Hall each year and brings together students, friends, and the
broader campus community in celebration.
Through performances and skits tied to a central theme, Show highlights the diversity of South Asian identities and traditions across dance, music, fashion, storytelling, and more. Built through months of collaboration and creativity, the production reflects the collective effort of students at every stage,
creating a shared experience that connects performers and audiences alike.
There are many ways to take part in the SASA Show, whether on stage, behind the scenes, or in the months leading up to show day.
