Controlling the emotions of a room, making the audience cry, laugh, fall in love with something you have created is not less of an art. Scriptwriting, acting, dancing, singing all are a part of the same. On the 4th and 6th of December 2021, the Enact Collective of The Bhawanipur College hosted Theater auditions.

Prof. Dilip Shah and some of the faculty members came to be a part of the audition process to make the students more excited by supporting them.
Day 1 had the slot for 50 participants, and soon as the audition round was over a game was planned as well. Where the participants were teamed-up to act out a spontaneous role presented to them by the judges.

Each and every participant came with a lot of enthusiasm and talent in them which was clearly visible in their acts making it a very tough decision for the judges to select. The auditions came to an end with an interactive session between the seniors and juniors and giving them an idea about many more upcoming events and workshops for the acting zeal in them.
