Telugu Plays/Dramas MADE IN USA for USAndhrulu???

Plays/dramas written for Indian lifestyles/settings backhome are
not suitable (many feel that way) to stage here in the USA for
USAndhrulu. Several writers have had come forward with their
scripts.

How many of these plays were published?
Where were they published?
Is there a list of published/unpublished MADE IN USA Telugu plays?

Also, is there a historical account of Telugu drama in USA?
What was the first Telugu play staged in the USA? Where?

Please don't forget to include Telugu plays written for USAndhrula kids.

It is not a bad idea to maintain an archives of all the Telugu plays scripts
electronically (those MADE IN USA) - or atleast a list and addresses of
authors.

Any thoughts??
