Kindly register here for the auditions.

Prior registration is not mandatory but will help us organize the auditions better. If you have any further questions, message us on facebook or drop us a line at ThirdHalfTheatre[at]gmail[dot]com.

Based on a true story, the play is an attempt to humanize PD and showcase the issues and challenges faced by people with PD and their families. It is a unique take on the condition seen through the journey of a family of a real-life PD Hero who succumbed to the disease in 2009.  While celebrating the struggles and triumphs of the human spirit, it is also an attempt to sensitize the general public, dissolve the stigma associated with the disease, and create awareness on the possible interventions available for people afflicted with the condition.

Rehearsals are scheduled to start from late February for 3 sessions a week.

See you at the auditions, all the best!
