The Submerge of The Actors Studio
I first entered this underground theatre, "Actors Studio" during my project for my theatre class. Since then, I fell inlove with the place. After I was done with classes, I decided to work here till I have consent from my parents to continue, Performing Arts/Theatre. I am one person who never like to read or listen to the news. If I did.. I would be making fun of every topic there was on air ot in the papers. This morning, I came late for work. I saw the road block and was very thankful to have a small car. I saw alot of people surrounding the parking lot and saw my workmates standing somewhere near the field. Parked at the road side.. I asked what were they doing there. And they said that the whole place is flooded and most of the things could not be saved. This shocked me like hell.. so here's



Outside of the entrance

The entarance of the Underground Plaza which leads to the theatre.


A better view of it. If you notice even the phone booth is mostly in the water. That means with my height of 5'3 I'll just drown in there.


This is the parking lot. It was said in the Star e-news that only 4 cars manage to get out from there. However, it wasnt any of the Actors Studio people. The theatre manager, Admin and one of the box office worker's car was still in there.


A route to go to the car park and Actors Studio.

Someone told me, the night of the coincidence, Joe only asked if any of his books were saved. Unfotunately none was except the ones that I quietly took with me. At the same night when they also had a private conference, Faridah and joe tried to still keep calm asthough nothing has happened.
This morning, after taking pictures, my workmates and I decided to go to the Actors Studio in Bangsar. There I met Faridah Merican. She tried her very best to stay strong and positive. She quickly told us what to do and whom to call. However, Joe wasn't around. He was probably to upset to even turn up. The curious press called up Bangsar to find out what the reaction Faridah would give.. And I listened to what she has to say.
1) The water is 6-7 feet deep.
2) May build a new theatre elsewhere for its a hastle to maintain an underground theatre though we did have good times here. I think I have said enough at the moment. I wanna go to sleep.

The Rashomon play will still go on. However, other plays which will be held in Dataran will be cancelled till futher notice.

One of my only memories left from the Underground Actors Studio Dataran
