JAMMU, June 26: Samooh Theatre celebrated its 30th Foundation Day by staging comedy play ‘Chitta Singh’ inspired from Fritz Karnethe’s ‘The Refund’.
The play has been written and directed by Ravinder Sharma.
Main character in the play is Chitta Singh, 40, who could not get any employment and wherever he went people told him that he was fit for nothing and nothing worthwhile he has learnt when he was studying.
Somebody advised him to visit his school and get tuition fees back as he doesn’t know even simple things.
Singh was jobless and took the idea as beneficial and visited the school where he studied.
When he asked for refund of tuition fees, the Principal was shocked as after 18 years Singh had come to school thinking he learnt nothing.
The Principal called an urgent meeting with staff members and they decided to keep a re-examination for Singh and planned that whatever answer he would give they will prove him right.
The teachers questioned him and justified his wrong answers correct and marked him excellent to chuck him out but the mathematics master asked him a difficult question and an easy question. For easy question he gave wrong answer and the master got angry and sais that he has failed so he should be given his tuition fees back.
The master said that they have decided to give him his tuition fees back and asked him about the exact amount which they have to pay him.
Chitta Singh without knowing that he was going to fall into trap gave them the exact amount.
The mathematics master said that was his difficult question to give the exact amount of tuition fees for which he gave the right answer.
He was proved excellent in all subjects and they threw him out without allowing him to say anything further.
Actors who performed in the play were Ravinder Sharma, Rajat Gupta, Rohit Bains, Amrita Kaur, Ajay Tamang, Vinay Sharma and Avinash Lakhnotra.
Dr. Sudhir Mahajan welcomed the guests while Dr. Kamal Sharma, president; Anita Chandpuri, secretary and Krishan Bala, accounts secretary extended greeted to artists associated with Samooh Theatre.
