Thank you to the entire team of The Prophet and the Poet for the wonderful performance at Courtyard Koota. It was truly a privilege to witness such a thoughtful and beautifully presented production.

The way the play brought alive the exchange between Mahatma Gandhi and Rabindranath Tagore was both engaging and inspiring. Your creativity, dedication, and powerful storytelling made the experience memorable for everyone present.

Yesterday marked our 4th year of celebrating Makkala Masti Habba at Courtyard Koota!

Our conviction about the program’s direction has never been stronger. In a world of digital noise, seeing children reclaim the stage with 4 original skits reminded us why real, physical interaction is vital for our future. Theater isn’t just about a performance; it’s about finding a voice. It’s about the clarity to tell your own story and the conviction to stand by it.

A massive thank you: To the schools that share this vision, and to head teachers - Supritha and Padma; your constant support and openness to new ideas mean the world to us. To the parents and community who turned out in such large numbers: thank you for believing in the power of the arts. To Anvitha and Anup - for working with the kids all year long, and inspiring a love for theatre.

Our theater and library programs are more than just activities; they celebrate childhood and work toward making the arts accessible to more people.
