MUMBAI: Theatre enthusiasts have a reason to rejoice. Fame Cinemas and Mumbai
Theatre Guide (MTG), through an alliance, have decided to bring the best of Indian
Theatre to a multiplex environment all across the country.
MTG
is the only online portal catering to promotions of plays in India. The portal,
besides covering English, Hindi, Gujarati and Marathi language plays, also provides
latest happenings about the theatres, play reviews, synopsis, interviews, artiste
/ theatre groups' profiles and details of various theatre workshops.
"Through
our website, we have been extremely successful
in our aim to create a platform for promotion
of the theatre industry. However there's
been a scarcity of quality venues for performances.
The association with Fame Cinemas will create
alternative venues and will help the theatre
industry reach a larger audience. We are
planning to make this a regular affair and
showcase plays in various Indian languages
at the multiplexes as per the audiences'
choice," avers MTG co-founder Bhavik
J Shah.
"It couldn't be a simpler model. The
audiences have loved the plays we chose
to host in the past. It was only natural
that we take the concept further and get
a regular activity going across all our
multiplexes throughout the country. MTG
gets an exposure which they rightfully deserve
as they are doing an amazing job for theatre
in the country. By this decicision, the
production houses of such plays get to showcase
their plays at venues throughout India.
It works for all parties concerned"
says Fame India programming, distribution
& corporate sales AVP Aditya Shroff.
