Delhi ” which is a small group of residents who passionately believe that together we can make a difference and promote better civic sense among our society. They don’t believe in excuses like ‘everybody does it’ and ‘what difference can I alone make’, but instead that the action has to start from us only. If every individual does his or her own bit, he or she can definitely make a huge difference and lead to change, and thus, as socially responsible theatre actors, they are taking a step forward towards this goal through their play. Join them in this social initiative and be the change you want to see.
