Rayaan Khatib and Jahaan Singh thrived as actors in the theatre scene in New York. When they came back to India during the pandemic, they realised that the young Mumbaikar wanted to go watch a play but was either too intimidated by the grandeur or that the subject matter lacked did not appeal to those who were not theatre connoisseurs.
“Which is why we thought about bringing the micro-play format to the city’s theatre scene,” says Khatib, who like Singh, both produces as well as acts in Micro Theatre 4.0. Singh graduated with a double major in Dramatic Literature and Economics from New York University; while Khatib, who studied industrial engineering at Purdue University in Indiana, chose a career in theatre and has been a part of Chicago’s theatre scene for seven years.
