ABOUT US
Thespian Adventures is a local theatre production company founded by Chaitrali Gokhale and Abhishek Bhat in 2019. The inspiration of forming a local theater group came from many places; from enthusiasm of local friends and kids thriving for an opportunity to perform in theatre, from the love and support of so many of our friends who will show up during production just to provide the support, and last but not the least from the talented and energetic team members supporting in back stage, set design, and audio and visuals.
As there is abundance of local talent ,the main purpose of this adventure will be to give opportunities to all local artists, writers, directors, set designers, and theater enthusiast. At Thespian Adventures, sky’s the limit and there are endless boundaries so the local aspirants will get platform to showcase their talent. And as we strongly believe that art doesn’t have a language, Thespian Adventures’ theater productions will be in multiple languages including but not limited to Marathi, Hindi, and English.
Thespian Adventures aspires not only to provide platform to local talent but also inspire and cultivate love for theater in kids. With this idea in mind, Thespian Adventures also have children’s theater production. The enthusiasm, curiosity and energy kids have is infectious and we want kids to explore their interest through various scripts, stories, and plays without any language barrier.
And for all the theater lovers with time constraints, Thespian Adventures also has experimental theatre productions where each and everyone can explore and experiment.
