In serving theatre, which lives on love and fresh air, many a venue has blossomed and withered away in the city. Yet, irrespective of its lifespan, each space has contributed to keeping the performing arts scene in Mumbai a vibrant one, and when the time comes, passing on the baton to worthy hands.

In a symbolic development, the cultural hub of Aram Nagar Part 2 in Versova, fresh from the news of Studio Tamaasha closing down last month, already has a new venue to boast of. With a soft launch in December, Veda Factory housed in bungalow number 120 of the quaint neighbourhood, is steadily coming into its own, if its packed calendar is anything to go by.
