This woman turned her passion into a fledgling business with Karandaaz Women Entrepreneurship Challenge

Huma Zaman is a man who is experiencing her fantasy. All through school and school, theater was her obsession. Throughout the years, she performed at Punjab University, the Alliance Francaise and with different auditorium bunches all finished Pakistan.

In spite of the fact that Huma is a legal advisor and for a traverse of time her expert obligations assumed control and theater assumed a lower priority. However a year ago, she chose to make a rebound with a gathering of similarly invested theater aficionados and established the Lahore Amateur Theater Zealots (LATZ).

Her vision for LATZ is to set up a stage "where on-screen characters and entertainers can locate a medium through quality performance center to express and offer their gifts with others."

LATZ has a rich pool of ability to dunk into with the various experience of prime supporters Omair Rana, Tughral A.T. Ali, and Tulin Khalid-Azim. Tughral prepared as an on-screen character in Paris and has coordinated a few plays, while Omair Rana is a film and TV performer who instructs sensational expressions. Tulin is an acting mentor and workmanship executive.

The gathering plans to advance important performance center with a crisp creation each quarter. They have performed two plays in English and two in Urdu. While most venue bunches have a tendency to rely upon supports who give away complimentary tickets, LATZ created its initial two plays without a support, figuring out how to take care of expenses through ticket deals. Huma trusts this is the best approach to resuscitate a custom of theater where the gathering of people is propelled and reacts to the nature of the work.

For their first execution, LATZ adjusted a Neil Simon great into a Urdu piece for a contemporary Pakistani gathering of people. It raced to full houses and basic approval at Lahore's Alhamra theater. The play, titled Dil-e-Nadaan, had an effective kept running in Karachi also. They lined it up with a Neil Simon unique parody, The Good Doctor, at Alhamra, trailed by exhibitions at Karachi's National Academy for the Performing Arts (NAPA).

Workmanship, a play by French writer Yasmina Reza came straightaway. It is a Tony grant winning play that has been created in a few dialects. The play is a reflection on human connections, the way in which they advance and the difficulties they confront.

Huma solidly trusts that venue can engage while it motivates and incites thought on the issues of the day. She urges the gathering to investigate diverse kinds, from dark comic drama to catastrophe. A portion of the topics that have come up are destitution and class contrasts, the requirement for reflection and the idea of personality. Huma says LATZ has possessed the capacity to handle delicate themes, keeping social sensitivities in mind.To make history, Huma utilized her own assets. Later the gathering started to assemble some help and the plays turned over a humble benefit. In Lahore, 80 percent seats are involved at their exhibitions, while in Karachi they offer out by and large.

Huma is persuaded there is a business opportunity for quality theater and says there is a hole that can be filled by gatherings, for example, LATZ. Nonetheless, she doesn't have the assets to organize delayed runs and the gathering has confined its plays to three-day exhibitions.

Among the difficulties they confront is the scarcity of reasonable theaters. "Lahore has only one great theater, the Alhamra," Huma says. "You can't set up a quality execution in a shaadi corridor."

Huma watches out for the business side of the endeavor. "Toward the day's end you can love craftsmanship," she says. "In any case, you need marketing prudence to make it fruitful." Keeping the requirement for business astuteness as a main priority, Huma connected for enterprise preparing bolstered by Karandaaz. She went to trainings held at LUMS for fifteen days and has stayed aware of follow-up sessions.

Amid the preparation, Huma says that she learnt how to pitch to financial specialists and concoct a plan of action to take the business to the following level.
