Manch-Rangmanch Amritsar and Virsa Vihar Society are hosting a national theatre workshop and festival, curated and mentored by Shiromani playwright Kewal Dhaliwal.

This theatre workshop invites drama and theatre students from across the country, who are mentored by the National School of Drama alumni and noted theatre persons, Partho Banerjee and Preetpal Rupana, in the nuances of theatre. To mark the culmination of the workshop, Manch Rangmanch has announced a five-day theatre festival from July 3 to July 7 at Virsa Vihar and Preet Nagar.
