About: The Genesis – Birth of rangshala.com, New Delhi, India:

• Traditional forms of expression are not being accorded their due place in today’s fast changing pace of time. Moreover, though a few resources exist offline and surprisingly none online to access information complementing the wide area of theater and performing arts.
• A need for the above encourages a group of enthusiasts who are passionate about theatre and convinced about its relevance in contemporary times to create a hub called ‘rangshala’.
• Rangshala is a hindi word made from the fusion of two different words: ‘rang + shala’ means a place for colours and creativity in life. Theatre or Theater also called drama, dramatics, play means NATAK in Hindi.
• Rangshala is a group initiated to provide a platform for everyone who is interested in performing arts and natak’s by bringing together the Delhi community and sharing information about theatre shows, training & workshops, theatre groups, auditoriums, theatre-in-education, social theatre in India, volunteers, educational institutions, career etc. through offline and online modes like SMS, E-mail & Online Shopping.
