"Moongi Masoor" is the outcome of the Theatre Workshops held at Sanjan Nagar few months back by Ms. Huma Safdar. The Theatre and Drama Trainer, worked with Sanjan Nagar students on the themes of voice throw, improvisation, music and mind sets.

"Moongi Masoor" is a story of two sisters who lived together. "Masoor", the elder sister, as by name is a hard quarrelsome creature, apt to disagree with everyone, while "Moongi" the younger one is soft and an agreeable person. The two sisters are entirely different in nature one is sweet, soft, kind in nature inside and to the world and the other is sour, irritated, annoyed, rude and selfish in nature and to the whole world too.

"Moongi" asks her sister to go with her to visit their poor old father who lives a little away with his son and daughter in law, who are busy due to harvesting season, but "Masoor" refuses to go in such hot sun. So "Moongi" sets off alone and comes back with beautiful and precious gifts from her father and the elements of nature whom she helps on her way to father's home. Masoor becomes jealous and annoyed to see the gifts and wanted to have more beautiful and precious ones so she sets off to visit her father. One by one, the sisiters visit their father and both of them come across with nature on their way and meet a Berry tree, Fire, a Stream, and a Pipal tree respectively.

The elements were carefully selected from nature and are figuratively used in the play. It left a great impact on the audience as the storyline was very simple, in local regional language "Punjabi" and related to real life issues that everyone can relate to. Carefully selected 3 animals; humble and slow yet consistent tortoise, fast and proud rabbit and a little sweet bird bringing the natural tranquility and peace, win a great applause.

Sanjan Nagar School Girls performed it skillfully and in fact were successful in developing a connection with the audience and kept them stay on to there seat till the end. Play was more attractive with the music and choir songs in between. There were nine songs in the play with riddles which made it more exciting. Students' lively performance without mike, in Punjabi, added in the beauty of the play.

Raza Kazim. Patron Sanjan Nagar graced the occasion as the chief guest while the special guests included Prof. Nazish Atta Ullah, Principal National College of Arts, Ms Sonu Rehman of LACAS School, Ms Tanya Soomro, Mr and Mrs Salamat , Chief Executive Salamt School System and ITA staff.
