“StageCraft Foundation was instituted to acknowledge the contributions of the Behind-the-Scene-Stars of live entertainment. Our foundation’s objective is to encourage and support the excellence of the craftsmen working behind the live stage and establish a platform to recognize their contribution to the live experiential ecosystem. The initiative is in line with the mission and we are thankful to both Apollo Hospitals & Disha Eye Hospitals for coming forward to support our cause”, said Ms Usha Uthup, Founder Trustee & Chairperson, and StageCraft Foundation.
StageCraft Foundation was established in 2014 to honour the unsung heroes of the live entertainment industry who work tirelessly behind the curtains. These craftsmen, who contribute significantly to the live experiential environment, often go unrecognized despite their indispensable role in creating memorable experiences for audiences. The foundation strives to shed light on their invaluable work and provide them with recognition and support. The partnership between Apollo Hospitals, Disha Eye Hospitals, and StageCraft Foundation underscores a commitment to holistic well-being and appreciation of theseoften-overlooked individuals.
