Dear Reader,

Celebrating With Theatre

Mumbai Theatre Guide wishes readers a very happy festive season.

For theatre folk, the celebrations spill over to the annual Prithvi Theatre Festival, where everybody waits to catch up with new plays, and partake of the bright and warm atmosphere that is created to welcome performers and audiences. There are many regulars, and some others opening their new productions.

A little after this, Rangshila will have its festival and the line-up is coming together well. After a breath, the Kala Ghoda Festival will start.

Mumbai's winter is when there is so much culture to be savoured.

Meanwhile, in the UK, a historic city theatre is planning to take performances into local schools as part of its 260th anniversary celebrations. According to a report by James Diamond in bbc.com, "Bristol Old Vic, the oldest continuously working theatre in the English-speaking world, is commissioning two new plays written by young people to be performed in schools.The Theatre in Education (TIE) programme will go ahead in 2026, as the Old Vic says funding issues mean schools are now less likely to bring children to performances. The theatre's artistic director Nancy Medina said: "We recognise the importance of children having extra-curricular opportunities and we feel it's important for us to contribute to that opportunity in every way we can."

We could not agree more!

"A nation that does not support and encourage its theater is -- if not dead -- dying; just as a theater that does not capture with laughter and tears the social and historical pulse, the drama of its people, the genuine color of the spiritual and natural landscape, has no right to call itself theater; but only a place for amusement."
Federico Garcia Lorc
