We started 2008 with a theatre production on 3rd Jan. The play titled Star of the East was based on the life of the spiritual founder of the CMI (Carmelites of Mary Immaculate) congregation. Fr. Elias Kuriakose Chavara is on the verge of being beatified as a saint and he is also the spiritual founder of Christ College, Bangalore where our theatre group is based in.
The theatre production was designed to provide a glimpse into the life of this social reformer, priest, educationist and visionary. The production featured about 50 actors. They were very well appreciated by the audience who comprised college and school students and members of the general public. There were two performances staged at the state-of-the-art Christ College auditorium. The play was directed by Sibu Vaz.
