MUMBAI: When one goes down the memory lane one gets nostalgic? memories rewind one after another!! Here is Class of 84 taking you through a beautiful journey of college days reminiscing the feeling of love, hatred, jealousy & resentment that one goes through in their youth. Class of 84 captures such moments and presents a magnificent play with substance exploring the innermost viewpoint of ones heart.
UTV World Movies in association with RAGE theater group presents Class of 84 - A Roller Coaster about Friendship filled with pathos and humor at St Andrews Auditorium on 12th December at 7:30 PM. This show will be a benchmark as ?Class of 84? celebrates its 200th show across country. Association with this event is a part of UTV World Movies long term involvement with RAGE.
The channel has expanded its reach beyond just the TV medium and adopted a 360 degree approach to reach out to its viewers, Theatre is one more step in this direction. Through this innovative marketing initiative, UTV World Movies hopes to achieve its objective of reaching out to its target group at all times and at all points. Since it is the 200th show, there will be an ?80?s cum college ambience created around. The foyer in St. Andrew?s auditorium will see a graffiti wall, a live band belting tunes from the 80?s and a notice board (like those in colleges) in addition to a ?cake-cutting? ceremony.
