Hello Theatrefolk!
Its
June!! Vacation time is almost over and most kids will be looking forward to
going back to school or college (Not really). So before the tantrums and early
morning begin how about going to the theatre and the conclusion on what has
been the biggest year for children’s theatre.
Saloni
Shukla’s directorial debut ‘Clue – Murder at Boddy Mansion’, T-Pots ‘Wolf’,
Theatreact’s ‘Herose – Werose’ and Ranga Theatre’s ‘Sinbad The Sailor’ are some
of the premieres for children and adults alike.
In
case your inner child craves for something a little more mature, worry not -
NCPA will be having their annual Cheer! Festival with 8 different shows
including Out of the Box’ ‘Two Adorable Losers’, 71mm Hyderabad’s ‘The Open
Couple’ and Akvarious’ ‘Bombed’.
Premieres keep on coming with Frontier
Theatre’s ‘The Pad’ and popular theatre actor Jim Sarbh directs his first play
‘Bull’. There are also film screenings of staged productions of ‘King Lear’,
‘Between the Lines’ and ‘The Interview’. There’s virtually a new play opening
in every neighborhood – Sitara Studios in Dadar, The Hive & Temperance in
Bandra, Colaba’s TARQ, and Ave 29 in Santa Cruz. It’s a good month to be in
the city.
In
the QTP office, the murmurs have begun… Thespo 16 is on the horizon and plans
have begun to make it bigger than previous years!! The first step is the
Orientation Meetings which will happen from next month, so keep your eyes and
ears open!!!! Also we will be concluding the political plays season of Great Texts Reading on the 30th of June.
