YouTheatre is our key project and one which not only provides an artistic platform for NGOs to meet with audiences and discuss the work they do so that they can obtain help in terms of volunteering and sponsorship but YouTheatre also provides a platform for aspiring musicians, theatre artists, dancers and singers by giving them both a platform to train and to be seen at.
YouTheatre was started in 2014 and is curated by renowned theatre artist Divya Palat.
In 2014, YouTheatre was able to support FOUR NGOs- Adhar- A home for the Mentally challenged; Kranti- A home for teenage daughters of sex workers; AngelXpress - An NGO that promoted the education of battered children from economically challenged homes and The Welfare of Stray Dogs- An NGO which looks after Mumbai's strays.
In 2015,we were able to support Aawhan Palak Sangh (an NGO for the mentally challenged), the Tribals of Jawhar, Humara Footpath and the Indian Association for the Promotion of Adoption and Child Welfare.
In 2016 we supported the Tribals of Jawhar and Mokhada, the Kamla Mehta School for the Blind , The Deaf School and Raah Foundation.
Not only does YouTheatre provide them a stage to speak and perform; we also made Statement films for each NGO free of cost which they can use to tell people both in India and abroad who they are and what they do.
YouTheatre 2016 will be held in September. For more information please visit YouTheatre.in. or just subscribe in 2 seconds below!
