Jamshedpur, April 3: In a bid to resurrect the once vibrant Bengali theatre scene in Jamshedpur, the Jamshedpur Cultural Organisation (JCO) has taken a bold step forward.
Amidst the waning interest in traditional theatre forms due to the overpowering influence of social media and smart television, JCO aims to reignite the passion for theatre among the city’s residents, particularly the younger generation.
