Malhaar’s Jashn-e-Awadh


And to cap off our amazing trip to Hollywood where we featured a spare, ten-minute play with neither set nor costumes, we present to you Malhaar’s epic musical Jashn-e-Awadh, of which Third Half Theatre is as always happy to be a part.

It’s been five years since we first presented Jashn-e-Awadh, and its resonance has been deep. The audience response was generous indeed, and every production we would be asked, “When are you doing Jashn-e-Awadh again?” 

As with all Malhaar Productions, the new, more dazzling show is a meeting ground of ideas, ambition, and some of the finest talent in the city coupled with professional musicians specially brought in from India.

Prepare to be whisked away into the land of the Nawabs, where music, dance, and poetry combined to leave a lasting legacy that survives to this day. 

Jashn-e-Awadh stages on Friday September 30th 7:30 p.m. and Saturday October 1st 3:30 p.m at Centrepoint Theatre, Ductac, Mall of the Emirates. Tickets available at the Box Office and online on the Ductac and Platinum List websites.

See you there!

Janus at the Adler

While Tréteau is still in the reckoning in the Top 30 as part of what has been dubbed 'the toughest week in Short+Sweet history', Janus gets a last minute entry into the Wild Cards of Short+Sweet Hollywood.

Janus is a monologue that attempts to explore the nature of identity. It deals with stereotypes, reverse stereotypes, and how people aren’t what you think they are. And how sometimes they’re exactly that, or worse.

It stages at the Stella Adler Theatre on Saturday 24th Sept at 2:00 p.m. and Sunday 25th Sept at 1:00 p.m.

Tickets are available at the venue and on brownpapertickets.com.

Tréteau in Hollywood


Third Half Theatre is off to Los Angeles! Our wonderful little Tréteau has been invited to perform at the inaugural Short+Sweet Hollywood to be held at the prestigious Stella Adler Academy of Acting and Theatre. Tréteau continues to be one of our most successful plays and this time it’s off to rub shoulders with some of the best international and American plays.

The journey has been quite intense, but here we are: Bags packed, and ready to go. If you are in and around the area, do drop in to catch us at the Stella Adler Theatre, Hollywood Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90028.

Needless to say none of this would have been possible without the great folk at Short+Sweet Dubai which has been instrumental in fomenting the community theatre scene in the city, and where Tréteau's journey truly began.

Tickets are available at the venue and at brownpapertickets. Do also read coverage on our trip in the Khaleej Times

Tréteau is a distillation of the love for the theatre that each performer shares with the audience. An amalgamation of various styles, themes, and genres, it is an attempt to condense the magic of the theatre into ten minutes.
