Director’s Note: PD Satish Chandra
I have noticed a lot of change in the theater world of today and it now belongs to dynamic and creative youngsters of the society. I had a thought to create a budding space for such youngsters and I am proud to say that four years into it KH Kala Soudha stands high on the list of creating these cultural representatives of our society.  KH Kala Soudha as it is popularly known has been a space used mostly for a lot of new productions, first time productions. That makes it near and dear to the newbies of the world of performing arts.  The struggle, efforts put in and all the hurdles become so tiny when I see this space being utilized for what I had envisioned. With immense pleasure and pride we celebrate our 4th anniversary by entertaining our ever supportive public on the 27th of January. Please be there.
