Theatre Initiative Kolam Studios brings Broadway Musical Hits to Colombo
View(s):A new organization with its sights set on inspiring drama enthusiasts and students to hone their skills in the art of the stage, Kolam Studios is a theatre initiative that began its ventures in March this year.
Comprising a group of school leavers and students in Kandy, their first step towards achieving this target was to offer up their services to schools without a wide outreach of drama facilities and experience. The group began conducting a series of workshops and practice sessions by teaching students the various aspects of drama, instilling them with the knowledge of how to perform on stage and ways to uplift their theatrical talents.

Further, Kolam Studios presented its first-ever public performance this month in Kandy. Now, with the experience and success of the Kandy show under their belt, they have set their sights on Colombo, where the cast will be performing on September 8.
The show, “Come Alive! The Broadway Spectacular” is an ensemble of some of the most popular Broadway hits throughout the ages. With songs from renowned musicals, such as The Sound Of Music, modern hits such as Hamilton and The Greatest Showman to classic Disney songs from Beauty and the Beast and Frozen, the musical has something special to offer for everyone. To witness this talent and effort brought to life through the wonder of the stage, drama, and music, enthusiasts are warmly invited to watch ‘Come Alive! The Broadway Spectacular,’ from 7.30 pm onwards at the Lionel Wendt Theatre.
