1) 18 Aug - Tax Free - 7pm-8pm
$16.95

Tax Free by Dr. Chandrashekhar Phansalkar is a comedic Hindi one-act play that cleverly weaves humor with meaningful social insight. The story follows four visually impaired individuals who come together to form a Blind People's Club, seeking joy, camaraderie, and a sense of belonging despite the obstacles they face.

“ Ankahein Samvaad”
"If unspoken was spoken, things would have been different."
"Ankahein Samvaad" is a poignant and thought-provoking stage play that explores the haunting beauty of unspoken conversations — the silences that shape destinies, the pauses that echo louder than words, and the emotional burden of what remains unsaid. Through a unique theatrical lens, the play reimagines crucial moments in the lives of three historically significant pairs:

About The Proposal by Anton Chekov
One fine day, our very promising and feeble, sorry .... eligible bachelor Mr Barkhurdar decides to finally confess his love for his childhood friend, who also happens to be his neighbour Mr Janaab`s beautiful daughter, Madam Mhotarima
What could have been a romantic evening with beautiful lighting, some nice music, and some very fine Whiskey turns out to be a hilarious comedy where all three of them continue to fight over some of the most unromantic subjects like ancestral land and dogs!

6) 19 Aug - 1947 Aur Alzheimer's - 10pm-11pm
$16.95

Succinctly put, this play offers a comic, satirical, and refreshingly original take on the Partition of India in 1947. The narrative unfolds through the memories of a 90-year-old man—Ghazanfar Hussain—who is also living with Alzheimer’s. As he attempts to recall the immediate and long-term aftermath of Partition, his fading memory adds both poignancy and humor. His non-academic, anecdotal, often factually incorrect yet deeply human recollections challenge conventional narratives and stereotypes surrounding the event—its causes, its purpose, its cost, and its legacy.

25) 24 Aug - The End of Kalyuga - 7-8 pm
Free

At the End of Kaliyuga is an invitation for young audiences to take part in storytelling that feels both ancient and alive. This piece weaves clowning and Classical dance, creating a space where play and tradition meet. This show is my way of holding onto wonder in a world that often feels heavy. It’s for the children who show us how to keep imagining. Creating this piece reminded me that play is sacred, laughter is necessary, and old stories can make space for new dreams. Thank you for being here, I’m so glad we get to share this moment together.
