JAMMU, July 21: Natrang’s Children Theatre Camp concluded here with performance of a new Hindi play “11th Hour” at Police Auditorium, here today.
The play has been written and directed by Sumeet Sharma, In-charge children and Youth Wing of Natrang and has been produced during 40 days long children theatre workshop. It was presented with the collaboration of J&K Police, Jammu.
The play opened with a prelude story which provided a gist about the core topic of the play. All the children were shown in joy and excitement, as they unveiled their talent of singing, dancing, acrobatics, acting and much more to the audience. But they themselves realize that this is not enough and search of a relevant topic begins and very huge devastation happened in Uttarakhand which moved one and all and they all recreated the whole scenario to ascertain whose fault was this. They felt ashamed as these disasters which are labelled as the wrath of nature are basically man-made disasters. They related all the calamities to J&K also and expressed their concern that the situation here is no better. In the end, they asserted faith on their parents that though it would be an eleventh hour effort, yet they would take care that they give a safe earth to the next generation.
On the occasion, Atul Goel, SSP Jammu was the chief guest, who honoured the children with the presentation of participation certificates awarded by Sangeet Natak Akademi, New Delhi. 92.7 BIG FM was the radio partner of the show.
