Theatre & Plays in Hyderabad

Theatre in Hyderabad is spread across a few committed stages. Ravindra Bharathi at Lakdikapul, the state auditorium opened in 1961, is the home of Telugu theatre, from social dramas to mythological productions in the Surabhi tradition, and many of its shows are free. Rangbhoomi Spaces in Gachibowli runs a 150-seat auditorium with Hindi, English and Telugu plays, improv and its own acting workshops, plus a second space in Sainikpuri. Lamakaan in Banjara Hills stages plays on most weekends, often by the city's amateur and semi-professional groups, with tickets that rarely cost much. Touring commercial productions use Shilpakala Vedika. Performances are concentrated on Friday to Sunday evenings. This page lists plays, improv nights, children's theatre and drama workshops across Hyderabad.
