On Monday, 21stof this month, I attended a Meet organized by Tiatro Academy Goa, to mark the birthdays of the yesteryears’ Tiatrists who are no more in this world. They were all born in this month, namely the late Prem Kumar, the late Saby Coutinho, the late Philomena Braz, the late Khoddo Minguel, the late Peter D’Costa, the late Remmie J.Colaco and the late Rosalia Rodrigues.
The Meet was unfortunately attended by a very thin crowd which gave a very bad image of this occasion. Organising of such Meetings is a good concept but the organisers must do the marketing properly to woo the audience in good number. Without required quota of audience the Meet becomes dull.
TAG President Agostinho Temudo
To woo the audience the organisers must also select very good speakers and not any Altu-Faltu type of speakers who keep the proceedings boring. The newly inducted President Comedian Agostinho Temudo being young, energetic and innovative must have to use his skill and expertise to make this very good monthly event a very fruitful. He must select the speakers properly who are even capable of reciting few verses of the songs rendered by the late Tiatrists in question. When TAG is paying the speakers a certain amount of fees for their services then TAG must select proper speakers, they need not necessarily be from the Tiatro fraternity.
Speaker Alvaro Gomes
Two speakers namely Alvaro Gomes and Josephine spoke on these Tiatrists; Alvaro spoke on Remmie J. Colaco, Saby Coutinho, Philomena Braz & Khoddo Minguel while Josephine spoke on the others. Agostinho Temudo in the beginning welcomed the audience with his few humble words and also proposed the Vote of Thanks while concluding the Meet.
Meantime, I wish the newly inducted President of TAG Agostinho Temudo all the best to carry forward the task entrusted to him.
