Death of Stage Drama

Punjabi stage drama is one of the major cultural aspects of our culture. We had an audience that come to stage for a healthy entertainment but now a days it has become a place for the an adult dance and I cant find a better word for Juggat Bazi. First we had a drama that had a story and entertainment but now it has nothing in it. We still have person like Usman peerzada who are trying for the survival of stage and producing some great work but there viewers are specific set of people.
My point which I want to raise here is that who will come up and do some work. It is very easy to sit and hold responsible but difficult to actually do something about it. If we see Punjabi stage drama they are able to attract audience in halls. They are making something for which people are willing to buy tickets of three thousand and five hundred in the last row which is at least the twentieth or after that. The ones who critique them then come up with anything which makes there halls empty and I want to mention one thing here that they have a very committed fans and will not them so easily. I know they are not making the best but still they are earning for themselves and many others. Now they have even gone beyond Pakistan and had shows in England, Canada and US which is a great achievement. So to all those who just play blame game, either come up with something creative or go sit at home and stop doing this.
