The classes begin at 9 am and go on till 12 noon, helping the children to keep busy during the summer break. At the end of the workshop the theatre association plans to host a play that which will be scripted and practised during the course of the workshop. “We have worked with Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalayas last year and it was a great learning experience even for us. Even in this school we are getting great insights about the life at these schools,”said PV Ramanamurthy, secretary of Navarasa Theater Arts Association.
