Rosary Ferns has always strived thru Konkani Stage and cultural programmes to bring about fusion of all the Konkani people in Kuwait in general and Mangalorean and Goans in particular.
A few years back Bollywood celebrity Mahendra Kapoor when he came to Kuwait with his troupe to stage his show at Indian Embassy Auditorium, after meeting Rosary Ferns and knowing his credentials well, requested Rosary to translate one of his Konkani Tiatros into Hindi so that Mahendra Kapoor will stage it all around starting from Bombay.
The drama “KUWAIT SODDUN VETANA” in Mangalorean Konkani will be watched by a huge crowd as per the forecast and rightly it is a must watch for all the Konkani people residing in Kuwait, especially for those who missed it in January. The entire cast will be Mangalorean except one Goan BERNARDO FERNANDES who originally played an excellent role of a Kuwaiti and since there is no replacement found for him to play that role so excellently, the onus fell on Bernardo. It is also to be noted that two Mangalorean artistes will especially come to Kuwait from Mangalore and Doha Qatar, namely Mike Simon and Norbert Pereira respectively. The local Mangalorean artistes are melodious singer Gratian D’Souza, Cynthia Pinto, Valerian D’Souza, Jasson Lasrado, Joyline Gonsalves, Jovita Fernades, Anil Menezes, Renny Menezes, Anil Fernandes, Wilfred Lobo,Vally Sanctis, Ananda D’Souza, Joyston D’Souza, Joe D’Souza, Francis D’Souza, Lancy Rodrigues, Stephen Machado, Rudy D’Souza, Lucy Aranha, Sunny Menezes, Kiran Lobo, Agnel Saldanha, Ibrahim, Master Ansel Gonsalves, Master Aaron Gonsalves and Fr.
