“Youngsters in the city passionate about theatre and harbouring a desire to work on the stage go to one man- Rathna Shekar Reddy… Founder of Samahaara... has come to be the face of theatre in the city” - Postnoon.

“For one week, Hyderabad basked in the glory of sumptuous theatre as little-known amateur groups gave a shot at big time theatre with slick productions, perfect timing and striking performances. It didn't happen out of thin air, the man who conjured it up is Rathna Shekar Reddy" - The Hindu

“Theatre group Samahaara is making waves not just with its performances, but with a bold venture in uniting avocation with vocation!” - Deccan Chronicle

Samahaara is one of the most popular and largest theatre groups in India. In the last decade, we have covered a vast body of theatre work including productions, workshops, theatre festivals and collaborations across the world. The most important contribution we pride ourselves on is creating original plays and performing them to packed houses. Samahaara plays a key role in promoting local talent via our theatre festivals (Hyderabad Theatre Festival 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and Dramaybaaz - a festival of solo plays).

Actor training is one of our specializations and a priority, as we believe well-trained actors lead to better quality theatre productions. Samahaara's Weekend Theatre Workshops, workshops for corporates, schools, colleges and Film Acting Courses have created a pool of highly trained and dedicated actors. Some of the best acting talent in Hyderabad come from our workshops and plays.

Now, with 35 Play productions, over 70 Theatre Workshops, 5 Theatre Festivals, casting for Films and creating our brand of Stand-up Comedy, Samahaara has become one of the most active theatre groups in India making theatre happen 365 days of the year. We at Samahaara thank our many patrons, audiences, sponsors, press and supporters for making all this possible and being with us on this extraordinary journey.
