Rangbhoomi Spaces in Hyderabad: Stage of toil and dreams

“The countdown has begun,” exclaims theatre actor and director Jay Jha, referring to the month of festivities in December. He is set to marry fellow theatre personality Preksha Trivedi on December 8 and his dream venture, Rangbhoomi Spaces in Hyderabad completes three years next month. As one of the directors of Rangbhoomi — the other two being Sanjeev Acharya and Prashant Singh — Jai says, “It is a sacred and a holy space for theatre, arts, music and dance lovers. The stage doesn’t ask a person’s caste, money or fame. Everyone is welcome here.” While he is involved with the creative and artistic aspects of Rangbhoomi, his team, Preksha and Kajol Dubey, take care of the business and content; theatre group Storyboard Productions provides the technical support for sound and lighting.

Platform to showcase diverse talents

“The space is a creative haven; it has provided a secure platform for the local community to showcase diverse talents,” says Preksha Trivedi, the chief finance officer. She adds, “It is heartening to witness the evolution of theatre within the confines of Rangbhoomi. From hosting just one or two music shows a month, to presenting seven shows a month, we have grown exponentially.”

She hopes to expand and enhance the overall experience . “The space is poised to grow bigger and better, welcoming a diverse array of groups and art forms. It has been a remarkable journey, and I am excited about its continued growth in the vibrant artistic landscape of Hyderabad.”
