Hi Albert
I'm confused at your veiled references to "the scribes of today
forgetting me"
from the little u have written below, i ahve no doubt that you are
ranked among the best, but it was a long time ago. have u written any
tiatrs lately? if u have, I'm sure you would be wide publicity given as
even the times of India regularly features tiatrs in its goa times
magazine that comes every day.

Dear Saligaonkars
When I was residing in Saligao I used to organise konkani Tiatrs on
the church stage. I gave chance to many young people who had never
been to the stage.. I had all the co operation of our saligao dynamic
artists as well as from the church Navhind times always gave the short
write up thanks to Ormel Tipri from casa Tipri who did this on his
own. r. There were many other people who took active interest in my
tiatr. One was Late Julie Azavedo who not only allowed us to us her
house but used to be a dynamic critic. . The second person was one
Sebestian de Souza from Muddavaddi. He was popularly called Tallo who
would be in the prime seat at the time of rehearsal ,would help us in
correcting the cantos of the tiatrs, help us with side songs. He had
written a big book of songs which he would give to our artist and
train them. The first person to help me stage my first show at the
church stage was Fr.Simplicio Fernandes the brother of present vicar
of saligao. I cannot forget Fr. Valladares and also Mr.Everest
Fernandes.. We had great artists. Francis Maedeus Lobo, Emy Sequeira,
Dominic Picky, Late Roque, Pricilla Sequeira, Anton Ruzai Paes, Luis
De Mello, Thomas Andrade. Merwin Franco, His parents , Fiona Dias and
above all Sambu Bau Bandekar etc. But there were others who were back
stage like Luis domingo Dias and Santos who saw to the setting of the
stage and prompting. I remember one or two times our great scribe
Daniel De souza singing a solo or two. With my artist encouragement I
was able to put up a tiatr in 1984 at the Kala Acdemy tiatr
competition and got second prize. Francis lobo and Emy Sequeira got
best actor actress award. It was our first attempt and we did it. But
what is hurting me is people who are great journalist do not feel to
mention our names in any of their writings. I got the second prize
from Goa academy for my tiatr Mummy maka vengent dor.I had presented
the script for the competition and stood second. The same tiatr was
staged in London by our goan group. Our saligaokar in London acted in
this tiatr. Do you know who she is ? Ida de Souza. She once lived in
the house where presently Orlinda Sequeira lives. (Sonarbhatt, three
houses from mine) They had three four shows and brought out a DVD.I do
not think any one from saligao know about this.Many of our great
scribes who are aware of my work are hesitant to mention in their
great writings .
