This narrative revolves around an erstwhile pivotal yet forgotten face of Marathi theatre - the art of prompting. Prompting, an indispensable component of theatrical performances, has evolved significantly over time, transitioning from human prompters in the golden era of musical dramas in the 1890s to the sophisticated teleprompters of today. The story centers around the life of Damodar, a diligent prompter who played a crucial role in the success of the iconic musical drama "Sangeet Sharada". Through Damodar's biography, the narrative offers a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes dynamics of a theatrical performance, showcasing the trials and tribulations faced by the prompter as the drama unfolds on stage.

The narrative not only sheds light on the intricacies of Marathi theatre but also pays tribute to the unsung heroes who contribute to its success. By exploring Damodar's life, the story provides a unique perspective on the world of theatre, emphasizing the value of every individual's role in creating a captivating performance.
