SareGAMA 2012

Austin's got talent!

We welcome everyone to join in for an evening of fun and entertainment, as our performers enthrall us with their talent in different art forms. Don’t miss this opportunity for you or your young ones to exhibit their talents. We will be recognizing all budding artists this year with a special 'Puthiya Tharam' certificate as well. This will be provided to all “first-timers-on-GAMA-stage” who realized their own talents and graced us with an opportunity to appreciate them.



Date: March 31, 2012 2:00 PM - 6:00 PM
Venue: Performing Arts Center, Austin Waldorf School
