Hi folks ! I am posting comments made on Facebook by New Jersey's Lovell Pinto on the recent New Jersey Tiatr by a complete cast from Goa- a first in the U.S. The troupe performed the next day in Houston, Texas . Lovell - like his wife Lea -are science professionals from Goa. He hails from Corlim, Mapuca and she from Ribandar.
Cheers. Tony Barros. USA Lovell Pinto Back from a wonderful and memorable evening in Hackensack, NJ last Saturday.. History was made, because for the first time ever an original Goan tiatr performance was held in the USA, with a troupe that traveled all the way from Goa. Hats off to Goa Police DySP Sammy Tavares and his team of artistes for a splendid production with his drama "Tim Thikam Sanddlelim". The individual performers were at their acting/singing best; the costumes very impressive. I finally got to see Goa's "nightingale", the incredibly talented Sonia Shirsat live in performance. Overall, it was five hours of spectacular Konkani entertainment. No regrets, no complaints. — with Sammy Tavares and 2 others.
