Natrang can proudly claim to be one of the pioneer modern Theatre for Children in India. The seed was first sown as early as 1990 with the production of, ‘Mere Hisse Ki Dhoop Kahan Hai’. It was highly innovative play, which took up and questioned extremely sensitive, serious and topical issues raised by the children but affecting all sections of society. Through the medium of satire and tear jerking laughter the play critiques every walk of life. Over the years play has continuously evolved, taking up and sending powerful, thought provoking messages, which society needs to address urgently. This was only the beginning and year after year the Natrang’s Children Theatre repertoire continued to grow from strength to strength with the successive productions. Note worthy among them are, ‘Aap Hamare Hain Kaun’, ‘Bhag Beta Bhag’, ‘Charan Das Chor’ and many more. These plays have been performed all over the country, innumerable times and in several theatre festivals. Natrang consciously evoked extremely new innovative concept in theatre for children. These workshops are primarily production oriented and culminated in 2004 with Natrang’s mega musical extravaganza of ‘Hum Hain Ha’, which was a resounding success; the play featured 318 children on stage and created history for the ‘Children’s Weekend Club’, an all-year-round activity. The prime objective of the club was not just production oriented but to address every aspects of cultural activities, music, dance, drama and even fine arts. In the process, every child is treated as unique and the challenge for Natrang’s team of instructors is to identify each individual’s special talents and to develop and nurture their skills by building up their confidence and belief in themselves. The ultimate objective is not just to make them actors but to develop their overall personalities as meaningful contributors and members of the society.
