While performing in the countryside, actors are not allowed to accept any gift, so they have to pay for food and accommodation by themselves. They eat simple food and sleep anywhere available, sometimes at village committee's conference room, sometimes at deserted house, and sometimes in vacant classroom.

Though it's really a tough job, these actors always feel satisfied and happy when they see the smiling faces of villagers during the stage performance.
