Guild of Actors at SPJIMR-Mumbai Stages Award Winning Play, "Harvest"

Guild of Actors at SPJIMR-Mumbai Stages Award Winning Play, "Harvest"

Over five months of effort starting 3rd August 2008 and the D-day was finally here - the day that hundreds of B-school students at one of the premier institutes in the country had been waiting for with bated breath, the day when their very own fellow

'hotshot managers-in-the-making' took to stage and dazzled them with performances that would stay "harvest"ed within them for the rest of their lives. The auditorium door opened on the 1st bell, abuzz to a lot of activity. Torch lights flashed all round, with bouncers helping people settle into their respective seats. The sounds of "The Grim Reaper", GASP '09's OST reverberated in the background as people rushed in desperately trying to grab seats for themselves and their comrades. A good twenty minutes of hustle-bustle ensued, during which the bouncers worked overtime to ensure that the audience settled into their seats, thereby also making sure that the strong buzz receded into a calm whisper.

As the sun set outside and the torch-lights faded inside, it was time to bring to light, a product that took the team 165 days to produce. Mr. Javed Siddiqi, noted script-writer and Chief Guest for the evening, kicked-off proceedings with his encouraging words on GASP and the concept of theatre being an integral part of a B-school participant's life. Without then wasting much time, he handed over the stage to the people to whom it truly belonged that evening. GASP '09 was raring to go, and pumped with energy to showcase to the audience of more than 300 people, the premiere of its play, "Harvest".
