The annual IASA Cultural Show is the largest run student production in North America. Every year the show uses vivid colors, songs, and dance to show the intricate workings of the Indian culture. This year's show entitled, Samasti: The Elements of Illusion, emphasizes the elements of dance that compose the makeup of India.

With humble beginnings more than 20 years ago, the IASA Cultural Show has grown from an unknown University of Michigan campus event held in East Quad Dormitory Theatre to the largest student run cultural show on the continent held in critically acclaimed Hill Auditorium. Proceeds from the show are donated to an Indian charity in hopes of improving the lives of people in India. This year, proceeds will be going to One World Health, a group dedicated to providing medicine to those in developing countries who currently may not have access.

This event will take place on Friday, November 12 of 2010 at Hill Auditorium. Students, families, and local metro-Detroit citizens are welcome to enjoy a night of Indian culture and diversity. Tickets are now available at the Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO) located in the basement of the Union, or online at www.ticketmaster.com. Get them before they sell out!
