Prithvi Theatre Festival is back in November after two years: heres what we know - Free Press Journal

-

After two years Mumbai's iconic Prithvi Theatre Festival is back with a bang. The two weeks long festival is scheduled to commence from November 3. As of now what we know is that the much awaited festival will have many new and old plays, music concerts, dance performances, play readings and the much talked about StageTalk@Prithvi. Just like every year, the festival will promote new talent of actors and plays under one roof.

Built in 1978 by Bollywood actor Shashi Kapoor and his wife Jennifer Kapoor to pay ode to Prithviraj Kapoor's dream of having a home for his theatre company. Prithvi Theatre is one of the most iconic intimate theatres in India. It is said that Prithviraj Kapoor used to do Persian plays. Prithvi theatre was designed by architect Ved Segan and was supervised by Jennifer Kapoor until her death in 1984. Latter, her daughter Sanjana Kapoor took the charge of Prithvi theatre. Currently, Shashi Kapoor's son Kunal Kapoor is running the theatre and various activities.

And that was three months after Budd Friedman, owner of New York's other big comedy club of the 1970s, the Improv, died at age 90. I got to know all three while researching my book on a seminal era in stand-up comedy that has now definitively, inexorably passed into history. Catch a Rising Star and the Improv were the first clubs to feature comedians almost exclusively, places where young comics could work on their routines, try out new material — and maybe get seen by the agents and bookers who could get them jobs.
