It is a must-watch for people of Indian Origin but I am sure anybody who has been an immigrant will be able to see a sliver of their experience reflected in the play.
[It] is no small feat to have a world premiere be as effective as this – you may even be inspired to make that long-avoided call to your folks.

Of course, the key ingredient for making a story easy to follow is a solid script and good direction along with actors who truly understand the characters they are bringing off the page into reality (at least for 90 minutes). This show has all that!

The Lake Effect has surprising depth in meaning while skimming the surface of this trio’s lives. I didn’t want the story to end.
There's nothing like a good mystery to pull in an audience, and Rajiv Joseph definitely delivers one that exposes loads of family secrets in his new one-act drama The Lake Effect.
I enjoyed this refreshingly take on the effects of one’s life on their significant others. This world premier is a “must see” event.
The Lake Effect shows the power of family and the reconciliation process when growing up without the matriarch [...] Simply brilliant.
[Lake Effect] ultimately is a funny and moving examination of families, culture and the American Dream.
