COVID-19 HELPGROUP​


Dear All, 
We all are experiencing a pandemic situation due to COVID-19 across the country and worldwide. Although there is currently no vaccine to prevent the disease, social distancing is one of the best practices to protect yourself and prevent spreading to others along with guidelines published by the CDC and WHO. During these difficult times, there are many individuals all over North America and abroad who may need assistance.
 
BMM has set up a Toll-Free helpline for anyone who needs assistance to get connected to the Marathi Mandal/ community organizations to find local help. BMM is also connecting with Government Agencies, other social organizations that might be in the best place to resolve any specific issues related to this COVID-19 pandemic situation.

मोगरा! - नाटक नव्हे 'नेटक'

नमस्कार मंडळी,
In association with BMM, AMM is pleased to present an online LIVE play मोगरा (Mogara) directed by Hrishikesh Joshi. 

एक नवं कोरं नाटक नव्हे 'नेटक' - मोगरा!

अभिनेता-लेखक-दिग्दर्शक हृषिकेश जोशी यांच्या संकल्पना - दिग्दर्शनातून हे नेटक साकार झाले आहे आणि सहभागी कलाकार आहेत- स्पृहा जोशी, भार्गवी चिरमुले, मयुरा रानडे, गौरी देशपांडे आणि वंदना गुप्ते. Online नाटक ह्या नव्याको-या प्रकारे सादर केले जाणार असल्यामुळे हे नाटक नाही तर 'नेटक' आहे. कोणतेही रेकॉर्डींग न करता रंगभूमीवर होणा-या थेट प्रयोगासारखाच हा नेटक live चा प्रयोग असणार आहे. 5 कलाकार 5 वेगवेगळ्या ठिकाणाहून हे नेटक सादर करतील. तेजस रानडे लिखित 'मोगरा' ही बाईपणाची कहाणी असून जगण्याकडे सकारात्मकतेने पाहण्याचा हा एक रंजक प्रयत्न आहे.

Ashrunchi Zali Phule - CANCELLED

नमस्कार मंडळी,

​​Organizers of the Ashrunchi Zali Phule drama tour to the United States have rescheduled it to February-March 2021 time frame. 

 In the above situation, Austin will not have the AZP show on April 12 as planned. Based on current logistics, at this time, we are not in a position to confirm whether this show will happen during the next tour. 

We are working with our ticketing partner TicketHungama.com to issue a refund for all the tickets, including any processing fee. It will be most probably refunded directly within a week or two to those who have purchased the tickets in entirety. TicketHungama is also going through 50 event cancellations and working on refunding the same; hence we appreciate your patience. 

We are still on for the next two dramas; A Perfect Murder (June 20) and Moruchi Mavshi(August 30), so please stay tuned for ticketing information. 

Last but not least, we cannot thank you enough for all your support and all the volunteers who worked hard and tirelessly for months on all the logistics, building sets & props—so special shoutout to all of them and for all their efforts.
