Mysore/Mysuru: Abhiyenthararu's 5-day National Theatre Fest was inaugurated by noted playwright and littérateur Prof. K.Y. Narayanaswamy and former Chairman of Kannada Development Authority (KDA) Prof. S.G. Siddaramaiah at Mini Theatre in Kalamandira yesterday.
Addressing the gathering, Swamy said: "Theatre is the medium that wakes up society from slumber, being in a state of oblivion and turning a blind eye towards the ills of the society riddled with wickedness, hatred and jealousy. It is happy to see that the engineering students are turning towards theatre, even amidst advancements in the field of technology."
