HERO : A Musical Exploration of Hercules.

The story of Hercules is the evolving and courageous

weaknesses and consolidates his strengths. In a way, it

symbolic of the journey of every common man who is

struggling with his weaknesses, fears and challenges and

eventually emerges triumphant in the odyssey of life with the

help of redeeming qualities like grit, self belief and valour.

This year’s musical performance is dedicated to highlight the most sensitive and plaguingissue that has trampled the young lives before they canbloom and flourish-- drug addiction.All the profits from thismusical would be used to spread awareness about the issueof drug addiction and counter the attached social stigma.

In the 27 wonderful years since its inception, the Music and

Theatre Workshop in CMC Ludhiana has tranformed the

lives of hundreds of students by teaching them various

values in life. Apart from impacting the students, each

musical also addresses a social cause.
