Meaningful Theater. Mostly.

Theatre is art. Theatre is entertainment. Theatre can also have purpose.

We call our theatre meaningful. The plays we stage are based upon contemporary political and social themes. We think our shows should be intelligent, thought-provoking and leave you with something to think about after the curtain call.

At the same time, we believe that theatre should be entertaining, gripping and beautiful. And sometimes zany because we all like to have a good frolic once in a while.

Founded in 2014, BADCo has produced more than twenty five successful shows. Our artists, volunteers and audience are all largely drawn from the Bay Area South Asian community.

All our shows are staged in English. We have now started doing companion shows in other Indian languages like Hindi and Tamil.

Bay Area Drama Company is led by Artistic Director Basab Pradhan. Read more about our leadership team here.
