The announcement was made by releasing the drama tickets at Don Bosco hall here on Thursday June 20. The first ticket of the drama was purchased by Adolphus Cutinha (Dolla Mangalore). The drama, a social comedy, will be staged by a Goan troupe.

Fr Reginald, parish priest of Eliyarpadav was the chief guest while Claud D’Souza, secretary of Karavali Konkans, and Charlie Sequeira shared the dais.

Briefing about the future programmes of the association, Leslie Rego said a talk will be organized on the contributions made by V J P Saldanha at St Sebastian hall, Bendore on August 23 evening and the association will also release a CD of Konkani classic songs on August 15. The CD will consist of 12-13 songs and the recording work is in progress, he added.

Fr Reginald said that he was happy to be a part of this programme. "I am closely associated with Konkani artistes. Even while conducting retreats, I sing hyms of Wilfy as he is an inspiration to several people," said Fr Reginald.

"These days dramas are losing importance. Associations should work on preserving art rather than making profit," he opined.

    It's a pity that the ignominious unpublicised rift between the trio comedy kings of Konkani -Charlie, Felix and Dolla resulted in their fans being deprived of sumptuous humour meted out at most of the Wilfy Nites and other social functions. Hopefully, they will bury their personal differences and stage a comeback by uniting together like ABBA and spice girls and feed us with the barrage of comedy skits and take back to those memorable days of Konkani Comedy.
