Tallahassee Tamil Sangam's 'Kara' Tamil New Year Celebrations were held on Saturday, April 16, 2011 evening at the Rec Hall at Alumni Village, Tallahassee, FL 32310. The program started around 7:00 PM with Tamil Thai Vazhthu (தமிழ் தாய் வாழ்த்து). Then Dr Swamy welcomed everyone who had come to the celebrations. There were about fifty families with children.Then we had Siva and Guna do mimicry and several children performed songs and dances.
Then our drama was staged. Our drama's theme was conceived by my sister Ambiga and I wrote and modified the dialogue to suit our cast and Bhanu helped me in directing the play. The play named Thillumullu Thirumanam (தில்லுமுல்லு திருமணம்) featured 10 characters of which six of them were adults and four of them were kids. The play is a situation comedy where one set of parents tries to dupe the other set in getting their son (a hotel server) married to a girl (whose parents cheat by presenting her with imitation jewelry). The play ends with everyone realizing that they all duped each other.
There was also another play called டன் வந்து டிக்கி கிட்டு போய்ட்டான். Following the plays Mrs Karpagam gave of vote of the thanks and we adjourned for dinner.
