If you wanna see how theatre can create an app on stage, come off! http://pic.twitter.com/Fwtlrh0QqVSwar Thounaojam"Recently I had got an opportunity to perform two plays at the International Theatre Festival of Kerala .There I witnessed that, all the young directors and actors from Kerala, the Sangeet Natak Akademi of Kerala, the State Government—all these entities came together to make this festival a success.They could rope in plays from Georgia, Poland, USA and of course from all over India. And here in our state, where we say that we are proud to have a 160-year-old theatre tradition, no single international theatre festival is organized. We don't have a well equipped theatre for experimental plays. Moreover now we see corruption in the election of ABMNP, which actually does nothing to promote theatre culture. All this is very sad. Today after reading the editorial in Loksatta, for the first time I felt ashamed as a theatre artist. I hope in the coming years I'll be able to contribute more than an actor in the field of theatre."—Geetanjali Kulkarni"Unless you are a thug you cant make money in theatre" word of experienced advice given to me just now :) #fbP D Sathish ChandraStrangest, scammiest 'art' theatre watched today.
