Theatre Nisha is a Chennai-based theatre company established in 2000 with its inaugural performance of Harold Pinter’s Ashes to Ashes. Since then, the company has become known for curating scripts that reflect society in its truest forms.

Over the past 25 years, we have staged more than 140 productions, spanning a wide spectrum of genres—from mythology to ‘in-yer-face’ theatre. Our repertoire includes works by international playwrights such as Albert Camus, Harold Pinter, Sarah Kane, Simon Stephens, Samuel Beckett, Jean Anouilh, Stephen Berkoff, Jean Genet, and Dario Fo; ancient masters such as Bhasa, Kalidasa, Seneca, and Euripides; as well as modern Indian voices including Girish Karnad, Rajiv Naik, Chandrashekhara Kambara, alongside several original in-house scripts.

Beyond performance, Theatre Nisha is deeply committed to theatre education. We regularly conduct workshops in acting, design, movement, and playwriting for students, professional actors, and anyone with an interest in the craft. To date, we have also directed over 85 productions for schools and colleges, ensuring that theatre continues to inspire, challenge, and nurture new generations of performers and audiences alike.
