About

Naatak is a theater company in the San Francisco area dedicated to producing intelligent and entertaining plays for, by, and usually about South Asians. Founded in 1995 by students at UC Berkeley and Stanford University, Naatak has been performing continuously for the last 29 years, and is the largest Indian theater company in the United States. Our plays have been watched by hundreds of thousands, and our members – more than a thousand – are drawn primarily from the tech industry in Silicon Valley, as is our audience. We have been declared Best Live Theatre in Silicon Valley by the San Jose Mercury News for seven years in a row – 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021.
