Our theatrical journey over the decades
Founded in 1955, we are India’s oldest English theatre group, with over 300 productions to our credit. We began with Shakespeare and Western classics before embracing Indian themes, bringing works by Indian playwrights to the stage. As an amateur group, we have stayed true to our passion despite financial challenges. With every production, we strive for excellence and seek the continued support of our loyal audiences to keep the magic of theatre alive.
