On Monday, 21st
of this month, I attended a Meet organized by Tiatro Academy Goa, to mark the
birthdays of the yesteryears’ Tiatrists who are no more in this world. They
were all born in this month, namely the late Prem Kumar, the late Saby Coutinho,
the late Philomena Braz, the late Khoddo Minguel, the late Peter D’Costa, the
late Remmie J.Colaco and the late Rosalia Rodrigues.
The Meet was unfortunately attended by a very thin
crowd which gave a very bad image of this occasion. Organising of such Meetings is a good concept
but the organisers must do the marketing properly to woo the audience in good
number. Without required quota of audience the Meet becomes dull.
TAG President Agostinho Temudo
To woo the audience the
organisers must also select very good speakers and not any Altu-Faltu type of
speakers who keep the proceedings boring.
The newly inducted President Comedian Agostinho Temudo being young,
energetic and innovative must have to use his skill and expertise to make this
very good monthly event a very fruitful.
He must select the speakers properly who are even capable of reciting
few verses of the songs rendered by the late Tiatrists in question. When TAG is
paying the speakers a certain amount of fees for their services then TAG must
select proper speakers, they need not necessarily be from the Tiatro
fraternity.
Speaker Alvaro Gomes
Two speakers namely Alvaro Gomes and Josephine spoke on these Tiatrists; Alvaro
spoke on Remmie J. Colaco, Saby Coutinho, Philomena Braz & Khoddo Minguel while
Josephine spoke on the others. Agostinho Temudo in the beginning welcomed the audience with his few humble
words and also proposed the Vote of Thanks while concluding the Meet.
Meantime, I wish the
newly inducted President of TAG Agostinho Temudo all the best to carry forward
the task entrusted to him.
