A day with young talent

These young adults have etched themselves in the mind and soul of their audience.

They put themselves out there with fierce determination. Their passion was well recognized by the celebrity judges; Genelia D'souza and Prahlad Kakkar. Also, well rewarded by event partners like Whistling Woods and AOL Cool Age.


Navaneeth Venkateswar who asked the audience to shut up during his performance was awarded the Best Actor, Director and Winning Play. The play used techniques that attempted to erase stage boundaries and interact with the audience. 


Anoud who acted as Mesopheles, Cleopatra's pet cat and narrator also won Best Actress. A brilliant job at impersonating an animal through pure acting.


The third noteworthy perforrnace was David Lobo as King Victor who was true to his character and the 'darkness of it's soul.'


What was supposed to be an intercollegiate drama competition turned out to be way more than what I expected with hilarious fillers by Franklin and Akash Raj as well as commendable dance routines. Kudos to St. Andrew's for it's 13th edition of Olio!
