Founder's Message


Ankur Sharma

A shared experience, a shared action, a shared moment of joy or sorrow, a superior kind of enrichment of the mind, the soul and also the body for both, the performers and the watchers - this is what Theatre is for YUVAA and its young actors.

We at YUVAA believe that theatre is most important for a developed and civilized society because theatre preserves its culture and trends. Theatre gives language its full meaning and use. It teaches every one the art of speaking as well as the art of listening. It grooms us to become better human beings and makes us more responsive towards our social, political and economic atmosphere by training us to observe more. More and more young boys and girls should participate in and practice the art of theatre.
