Nikhil Out Loud

By Maulik Pancholy

Nikhil is a voice actor for a hit animated series called Raj Reddy in Outer Space. Then he moves to his mom’s hometown in Ohio to take care of his grandfather and has a lot to adjust to. He lands a spot in the school musical but is terrified that everyone will find he has stage fright. Then a group of parents start a protest against having a gay actor in the role. It would be easier to just be Raj Reddy all the time instead of having to be Nikhil.
