The Krishna Sood Memorial Inter School Musical Theatre Competition was for the first time hosted by Spring Dale Institution, at Ganna Sansthan Auditorium, Lucknow on the 14th October, 2023. The vibrancy of the thespian talents of approximately 450 students from 12 esteemed schools filled the auditorium with ecstasy.
The idea of Cultural fest which will be an annual event of Spring Dale stems as an ode to Ma’am Krishna Sood, a woman of substance. Her exemplary life is worth a celebration. A peaceful co-existence is what each one of us desires; based on this thought the theme chosen for the musical theatre, in its year of inception was ‘HARMONY’.
The day started with the ceremonial lamp lighting by the dignitaries followed by a soulful prayer and the ethereal performances involving the participating teams. The audience was evoked with emotions as each self-scripted performance with the well weaved story line had a conscientious message to convey.
The participating schools presented a symphony of the various theatre elements, coming together, weaving stories around the theme – Harmony. The host school Spring Dale presented the inaugural session highlighting the theme for the day. Krishna Sood Memorial Theatre thus made a successful start.
Eminent theatre personalities – Shri Surya Mohan Kulshreshtha, Mr Punit Asthana, Mr. Gopal Sinha and author Dr. Navsharan Singh witnessed and gave their expert opinion and explained the nuances of theatre to the students. Schools that made to the top were CMS Gomti Nagar 1, Seth M. R. Jaipuria and Gurukul Academy. The judges applauded the students for their participation and briefed them the advantage theatre plays in the lives of individuals. Shri Surya Mohan Kulshrestha, the guest of honor told the students that with machines and technology, humans should not become machines rather maintain emotions, love and sentiments. If we fail then all development will be a waste. Theatre is a big source to sustain our humanity as it develops the personality by polishing the capabilities.
 Theatre also asks one to be creative because in a limited space one has to show a large number of things unlike movies, hence it develops imagination and creativity . The musical theatre concluded with a self-composed song spreading the message of sustainable development,” RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW IS THE TIME TO DRAW THE LINE”

Lending a helping hand in whatever way we can, to whomsoever we can …. Is not just what we owe to the society we live in but by doing so we make our own
self and others happy.

Once again we at Spring Dale are on our mission to honour ant pay homage to our esteemed founders, the great visionaries – Sir B.S. Sood and Ma’am Krishna Sood. The week started on 18 th of July and the topic of deliberation this year was ‘With a smile lend a hand of help… Kyun ki khush to woh hain jo
khushiyan bantte hain…’
‘Little acts of kindness, little words of love, make the earth an ocean and the heaven above’. Small acts of care and concern by the students for people around us who are in dire need came out as the foremost duty and desire for being happy individuals. During the brain storming sessions students came up with various ways in which they could be of help to the society.

Making the senior citizens tech savvy, teaching and sharing skills with the helper’s children, helping parents and grandparents with day to day chores, creating awareness regarding recycling and reducing carbon foot prints (buying refills only instead of whole body) were small examples of the initiatives taken by children. They thought of the action plan to execute their ideas which continued for the week. By the end of the week they felt happier, contended with a pledge to continue with their initiative. How to bridge the gap between the haves and the have – not is what one needs to ponder upon, was suggested by Prof. Atul Sood from JNU.

July 25, was the concluding day of the week which is the death anniversary of our Founder President Sir B.S. Sood. The Nukkad natak written and performed by the students conveyed the message that true happiness for self lies in lending a hand of help and bringing happiness to others. The meaningful song ‘khush hai who yahan jisne banti hain khushiyan’ created a ripple effect of positivity amongst the students and staff resonating the theme ‘With a smile lend a hand of help… Kyun ki khush to woh hain jo khushiyan bantte hain…

The week July 18-25, is being observed as Awareness Week across all the three branches of the Institution in the fond memory of our founders, Sir B.S Sood and Madam Krishna Sood. The origin of this idea was with the intention of arousing the society with critical and pertinent topics. Since 1995-96 we have been reasonably touching upon the minds and hearts of many.

The theme for this year is : “With a smile lend a hand of help Kyuki khush toh woh hain jo khushiyan bantte hain…This delicate feeling is fading out in many ways so to reiterate its joy and entirety, the students are displaying acts that delightfully impact them and the society as well.
