‘Whenever I did a play, I came alive as a performer’: Richa on World Theatre Day

On the occasion of World Theatre Day on Wednesday, actress Richa Chadha spoke about how she owes a lot to theatre.
“The reason you feel alive when you perform is because you have some kind of theatre experience. I would really recommend that people treat theatre as an end in itself and not as a stepping stone to films because the journey of theatre is very rewarding,” Richa told IANS.
She said that working on a play for months and then bettering it each time is a “really enriching experience.”
“I have found that whenever I have done a play I have come alive as a performer and I feel warmed and charged up, and it is after all an actor’s medium.
So, I owe a lot to theatre and I hope I can give back as well.” (IANS)
