TESTIMONIALS

I have been closely associated with The Creative Arts Academy for brilliant productions like 'Simayon se Parey', 'Beyond Borders' and 'The Dice of Desires' and I have always been spellbound by the way TCAA contributes towards the growth of every single artist, whether they be children or adults. I am absolutely certain that TCAA will continue to be an inspiration to many generations of students like always.

TANMOY BOSE

TCA has always proven to be a pathbreaking arts organisation, with brilliant productions like 'Beyond Borders' ! They have been the beacons of conceptualising new initiatives like Dramebaazi International Children's Theatre Carnival , connecting people from all over the world, even during the pandemic. With the Academy, TCAA is sure to pave a new path in the arts, igniting fresh minds and bringing communities together!

The Creative Arts Academy is a dynamic organisation which has been working constantly during the pandemic. From script writing to voice modulation from storytelling to mental health, the range has been staggering. Keeping young people curious and active during dark times has been truly commendable.

Here’s what our Juniors Theatre Production’s Director, Ceiloni Sengupta, has to say about why she chose ‘Pepper the Phantom Pet,’ a heartwarming play by Paro Anand, for our younger performers.

The play beautifully delves into themes of loneliness, friendship, and the power of imagination—issues that deeply resonate with children. Through the whimsical world of Pepper, we explore how young minds cope with their emotions and find connection in unexpected places. It’s a story that touches hearts and sparks important conversations, all while keeping the magic alive.

Come join us on 23rd November at 4:30 PM as our young stars bring this enchanting tale to life in our studio theatre production!
