JAMMU, Apr 26: Theatre group ‘Natrang’ here today staged Hindi play ‘Rehearsal’ written by Lakshmi Kant Vaishnav and directed by Neeraj Kant.
The presentation was showcased with the collaboration of MIER Jammu.
Director MIER, Dr. Adit Gupta was chief guest on the occasion and he appreciated this new initiative of Natrang aimed at introducing theatre amongst youth for their holistic development.
Earlier, Director Natrang Balwant Thakur dwelt in length about the role of theatre in transforming and elevating personalities with multiple abilities.
The play ‘Rehearsal’ very interestingly portrays the rehearsal scenario of a play where the cast is all women. Though they (kitty-mates) want to present a good show, their approach is not good enough and remained too much immature. The basic ingredients which are required to mount a professional theatre production like discipline, punctuality, team spirit, self-motivation and neutrality of the mind were all missing in these ladies and they were instead full of the traits like jealousy, gossip, lack of coordination and egotism.
Though there was a director also but because of her own limitations, she was not able to control the team.
Finally the rehearsal which was shown in the play ‘Rehearsal’ ended up to be a chaos leaving a stern message that we need to be disciplined and committed to create a meaningful work of art.
Artists who performed in the play were Divya Sharma, Charu Rajput, Mehak Mattoo, Saloni Sharma, Aarzoo Sharma, Essha, Shriya Mantoo and Aman Sharma; lights were operated by Neeraj Kant, music was scored by Navvya Verma, presentations were done by Aatifa Nisar and the show was coordinated by Mohd. Yaseen.
