Description
The Akshara Theatre is an exquisite arts complex set in just under one acre of land in the heart of New Delhi. It has four performance spaces for live performance equipped with the best lighting and sound equipment augmented a few years ago by a generous grant from the Government of Japan under its Cultural Grassroots Programme. It possesses a library, shooting and editing studios for television with the latest digital equipment, sound studios, workshops for set design, metal work and stone sculpture, as well as a studio for graphics design with computerized desktop publishing, and classrooms where the performing arts are taught to children and young people.
Registered as a non-profit cultural society in 1980 under the name ‘The Akshara National Classical Theatre of India’, the theatre’s endeavour is to present theatre, music and dance in its various spaces on a nightly basis, for a ticket paying audience, so that Indian artists can access their public and earn their living by so doing, and the public, on the other hand can find quality professional live entertainment in a aesthetic ambience throughout the year
