Host of other actors and artists from the global theatre community come together in a daily online show hosted by Coconut Theatre
Since 26 April Coconut Theatre has been hosting ‘Chai-Wai & Rangmanch’ in association with TicketNinja.in. The daily 6 pm show features veteran actors, writers, directors, theatre designers and technicians on Coconut Theatre’s Facebook Page sharing their memorable experiences, stories and inspiring tips with theatre lovers.
The ongoing first season of “Chai-Wai & Rangmanch 2020” has had 108 online sessions with theatre experts from different parts of India and various other countries.
“On account of Covid-19 and the worldwide lockdown, 2020 has been a bleak year for the theatre industry which thrives on live acts,” says Rashmin Majithia, producer of Coconut Theatre and Managing Director of Coconut Media Box LLP. “With this online initiative we hoped to connect the theatre fraternity locally and globally. It was an ambitious project as we had to get theatre veterans from different parts of India and world, and from different theatre cultures over different time zones.”
Majithia, also an industrialist, will host the last session (108th) of the first season of “Chai-Wai & Rangmanch 2020” on 3 August. He will share his views as a theatre producer considering the current situation.
Other sessions include actor Shatrughan Sinha on 30 July; director Subhash Ghai on 31 July; actor Supriya Pathak on 1 August; and actor Shabana Azmi on 2 August.

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
If you value thoughtful reporting that reflects Australia’s diversity, we invite you to contribute. Every donation helps us maintain the quality and consistency of our work.
