Dear Tara, I have been meaning to write to you about Rudram's production, Once upon a time. From start to finish, it was a mind blowing performance and an amazing showcase of talent, music and storytelling. The show high caliber of artists and performances was as good as a Broadway performance, no less! Some of us were sad that you only had one show of this event. For me, the fusion between the multiple art forms took my breath away. From the storyline, to characters from so many fables made for an eclectic and surprising act after act! The narration was superb and helped even children to understand what was going on stage. The endurance of the cast to perform for almost 2.5 hours with consistent enthusiasm was inspiring. The video backdrop, the high quality music and props were on point. If this is the quality of shows you can produce and bring to Tampa, then I am excited for the future of Rudram! Thank you for bringing together so many people and showcasing talent and culture from the east and the west. Kudos to you, Tara!! So proud to call you one of our own! 🥰❤️ --Sandhya Srinivasan |

It is a magnificent show and great effort by all the artists and technicians behind the scenes. Thrilled to see such a creative one with a great script with so much perfection. Such a show does connect to all with familiarity of the characters and greatly integrated Indian dance and music and ballet dancers. Mesmerizing choreography is so captivating, excellent performances from all the artists. It is so cute to see small kids perform with such ease. Congratulations and kudos to all of you for bringing such a show. Hope this show goes all over the country though it is known that a lot of investment is needed. Best to the entire team behind the show. --Srinivas Gudeti |
