A play about the Indian IT industry

A play that will be performed live in a theater in New Delhi. If you are a software developer, you are going to like this.

My name is Sathyaish. I am a software engineer.

Last year, i.e. in 2011, I wanted to do some theater. No one took me, so I announced that I would start my own group. I wrote a script. Then, I wrote a screen play from that. Now, I am almost ready to begin the auditions.

The play will be a comedy with a sad undertone profiling the life (or rather the lack) of programmers and how they are generally taken for granted and treated poorly by people who should really have been working in a bread making factory baking bread, or people who should have been making biscuits or whatever, i.e. the non-technical people in the software development industry who have become managers and architects and what-not.

I hope you like it. I'll be posting more stuff about this play on the Web page at http://sathyaish.net/acting

The play will be performed at a theater in New Delhi, India.

The group that I am organizing to perform this play will rehearse only over weekends so that they may keep their day jobs.

I expect that the auditions will run through April 2012. We will start rehearsing in May 2012 and will carry on with the rehearsals for May, June, July, August and September 2012 only over the weekends. We should perform in the last week of September 2012 or some time in October 2012.
