Note From The Editor
Dear Fellow Theatre Lover,
The process of building Theatre Ink during these difficult times has been immensely gratifying. A daily reminder of the power and beauty of live entertainment; of why we love what we do; of why the community that makes theatre and watches theatre is truly one large extended family. Everyone has contributed with joy…their ideas, talent and time.
The dream is to make this an online home for theatre lovers and theatre practitioners. One that’s welcoming and inclusive. That celebrates the richness and diversity of this performing art and digs deeper into the people and processes that make theatre happen.
I am grateful to Aadyam and the Aditya Birla Group for believing in Theatre Ink. Without their vision and support this would not have been possible.
– Shernaz Patel
