Yogesh Sharma (UTA Actor Director)

At the age of 4 I started the journey of theater as child artist with play "Raskapoor-A love Story". Post that has been active part of many theatre activities cause once you feel the theatre you can not get away. More then a craft or work it becomes part of your life. Specially when you have a team which let you fly in the world with your thought, which give you sky to fly then the journey become more adventures. UTA has played that important part of my journey cause here I was able to shape my thought with creative liberty which is important if you are an artist. There are many ideas which arises in your mind but till you execute those its all waste and to let that execute there has to be someone who believe in you. Mr. Keshav Gupta-Chairman UTA has always believed in my idea and that is the reason we have always served something new to our audience whether it's "Baby Tum Nadaan" with a different design or "Singhasan Khali Hai" which was linked with recent scenerio. If I give glimps of my own experience then I have acted in many plays like -"In Rishton Ko kya Naam Dein", "The Great Raja Master Drama Compant", "Kallu Barbar MBBS","Singhasan Khali hai","Dwapar ke Aansu" etc. And assisted in direction of more then 10 plays like-"Baby Tum Nadaan","Singhasan Khali Hai","Sanjha Kale Prabhat Pheri" etc. Also my first direction play "Suhaagrat" was production of UTA which received good amount of applause from audience.
