<p>Presenting songs from Naatak's 50th production, VRINDAVAN. Staged in 2015, Vrindavan, a <a href="http://www.naatak.org/best-live-theater-in-silicon-valley-naatak-receives-knight-foundation-grant/">Knight Foundation Grant Winner</a> is THE most popular musical in Naatak's 25 year history. </p><p>Credits:<br><b>Vocalists: </b>Nachiketa Yakkundi, Vidya Murthy, Lakshmi Shankar Rao, Poonam Yakkundi<br><b>Organ: </b>Anand Karve<br><b>Tabla: </b>Ashish Tare<br><b>Manjira: </b>Gandhar Tare<br><b>Triangle: </b>Poonam Yakkundi</p><p><b>Written by Sujit Saraf</b></p><p><b>About the Play<br></b>In 2014, Bollywood’s dream girl Hema Malini became Member of Parliament from Mathura. When visiting a widow-home in Vrindavan, she suggested that Vrindavan widows should remain in Bengal instead of coming to over-crowded Vrindavan. The uproar that followed involved many actors – NGOs, the BJP, Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, and Hema Malini.</p><p>This incident provides the inspiration for Vrindavan, City of Widows, in which 12 feisty widows live in raucous celebration until a Bollywood actress arrives to disrupt their lives. Vrindavan is a grand musical, juxtaposing the colorful love of Radha and Krishna with the stark existence of Vrindavan widows, and told through humor and wit, the songs of Meera Bai and the gyrations of Bollywood songs. The play features spectacular sets, costumes and lights, along with live music by <a href="http://ganapriya.com/">Nachiketa Yakkundi</a> and his team, choreography by <a href="http://www.gurubandanasen.org/">Guru Bandana Sen</a>, and dance by Dipanwita Sengupta and her students at <a href="http://www.calnda.com/">California Nupur Dance Academy</a>.</p><p>A news item on the incident that became the genesis of this play: <a href="http://www.ndtv.com/india-news/widows-from-bengal-bihar-stay-there-why-crowd-vrindavan-hema-malini-667204">http://www.ndtv.com/india-news/widows-from-bengal-bihar-stay-there-why-crowd-vrindavan-hema-malini-667204</a></p>

<p>Ande Ke Chilke : A tale set in the 1960s, about a household that primarily indulged in vegetarian meals. Eggs were a taboo, a forbidden item even. This house interestingly had a member, the daughter-in-law who would brave the troubles and resort to eating some of the yellow and white goodness, sunny, scrambled or poached. She would also engage in clandestine operations of cooking this forbidden delight and serving it to her husband and brother-in-law. Will the matriarch of the house discover these nefarious activities happening right under her nose? Or will the family members succeed in keeping and cooking it all under the table? </p><p>Written by: Mohan Rakesh<br>Director: Anjali Bhide<br>Cast: Chaitanya Godsay, Anjali Bhide, Bhavna Mathur, Aniruddha Bhide, Shubhla Bhatia Jotwani, and Rajiv Nema</p>
