Evam Youth Forum
From 2006 to 2008, The Company Theatre led a laboratory for youth theatre in Mumbai, bringing together young artists and providing them with a platform to explore their art further and produce exciting new theatre. The performances created by Evam Youth Forum were performed in alternative spaces, as well as at major theatre festivals in India and abroad.

“If people do not leave homes to go to the theatres, we shall take theatre into their homes”
From 2000 to 2004 TCT collaborated with more than a 100 homes to use their drawing rooms, kitchens, terraces, backyards and gardens to be used as alternative spaces for public theatre performances. The success of the project led to shows in Baroda, Pune, Bangalore, Delhi and Mumbai.
