In the Name of 2024

Held on January 20, 2024, at Gyan Manch, ‘In the Name Of’ was a pioneering stage-to-screen production. The play We Are Safe Here transitioned seamlessly into the film Atash, exploring themes of communal harmony. Praised by Telegraph and Statesman, this event set a new standard for blending live performance with cinematic storytelling.

60th Founder’s Day Musical

For The Frank Anthony Public School’s 60th Founder’s Day, we orchestrated a grand musical that transcended traditional performance, immersing over 120 students in a profound journey of academic entertainment. Beyond the stage, this project was a masterclass in theatre and acting, where students delved into the craft of performance under our guidance. We took them into a professional studio, where they not only sang and recorded the songs for the production—an empowering experience that unveiled the intricacies of sound design and music production. This hands-on exposure to the professional world of entertainment fostered confidence, creativity, and a deep appreciation for the art form, leaving a legacy of learning and inspiration that echoed far beyond the final curtain.

Communication and Dramatic Arts Workshop

At our On Air Theatre studio, we’ve hosted transformative workshops in dramatic arts and communication, welcoming students and adults eager to unlock their expressive potential. These sessions go beyond the basics, immersing participants in the nuances of theatre—voice modulation, stage presence, and character development—while sharpening essential communication skills like clarity and confidence. Held in a professional studio environment, the workshops offer a rare glimpse into the world of performance, blending practical exercises with expert mentorship. From shy beginners to seasoned speakers, participants emerge with a newfound ability to command attention and convey stories with impact, embodying the Stage 2 Screen ethos of nurturing talent through immersive learning.

Café Opportunity Ad

Our digital campaign for Café Opportunity wove a tapestry of heartfelt storytelling, spotlighting characters from diverse walks of life. Through their stories, we showcased the café as a vibrant haven—a place that radiates positivity, fosters celebration, and serves as a stage for artistic expression, where performers bring their craft to life with passion and purpose.
