Tickets out for Silence !

There has been a week of silence on the blog after the reading, each one of us are working extra hours for our forthcoming production - Silence the Court Is In Session. They play is being directed by Kishore Acharya, While this is the 5th show overall, we are performing at Rangashankara for the first time.

Having performed most of our plays at Rangashankara, its almost like a place where we grew as actors, grew confident as our productions grew in size. We have staged a play with 28 actors here - In June 2008, we performed Clifford Odets, Waiting for Lefty. We had actors everywhere - on the stage, in the green room, with the audience and a few who enter the play really really late.

We also learnt the art of managing an angry crowd who miss the play by a few minutes, During the early days of Rangashankara, not many were aware of the 7:30 rule, now its heartening to see people line up to watch a play well in advance.

This time around, we have partnered with IndianStage to manage our tickets and use the time to do what we do best:-)

Silence! is a masterpiece by the Late Vijay Tendulkar and we have thoroughly enjoyed giving shape and form to this masterpiece.You can buy tickets from IndianStage here
