Akshara Theatre is a symbol of our heritage and has contributed immensely to our art & culture.
THE AKSHARA THEATRE was founded in 1972 by Gopal Sharman: playwright, poet, musician, theatre and television director; and his actress wife Jalabala Vaidya, with their daughter, Anasuya Vaidya-Shetty.
The Akshara Theatre is an exquisite arts complex set in just under one acre of land in the heart of New Delhi. It has four performance spaces for live performance equipped with the best lighting and sound equipment augmented a few years ago by a generous grant from the Government of Japan under its Cultural Grassroots Programme. It possesses a library, shooting and editing studios for television with the latest digital equipment, sound studios, workshops for set design, metal work and stone sculpture, as well as a studio for graphics design with computerized desktop publishing, and classrooms where the performing arts are taught to children and young people.
PLAY IT HOT by the Akshara Theatre
A musical comedy inspired by Marilyn Monroe's irresistible Some Like it Hot. Three good for nothing broke musicians need a gig. Watch how far they go to make a quick buck in this hilarious play filled with music, dance, guns, girls and many hidden surprises that are revealed along the way.

Filmed at the Akshara Theatre, New Delhi, India
July 15, 2016
Speakers: Jalabala Vaidya, US Embassador to Bangladesh Marcia Bernicat, Sunit Tandon, Kanika Aurora, Rakesh Palisetty and Nisa Shetty.
In her 86 years, iconic American poetess Maya Angelou lived through the gamut of being a black woman in America -- from times of oppression, poverty and discrimination to being hailed as America’s foremost poet. Among her millions of admirers worldwide were Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and Oprah Winfrey.
Venerable theatre star Jalabala Vaidya, an exquisite performer of poetry, brings alive some of Maya Angelou’s best known poems, while Sunit Tandon recounts vignettes of her life. Singing and acting star Nisa Shetty sings songs evocative of Maya’s poetry – including Summertime, Natural Woman, Caged Bird, Phenomenal Woman, etc. US Ambassador to Bangladesh, Marcia Bernicat reminisces about Maya’s amazing life, while Kanika Aurora brings out a lesser-known but important aspect of Maya! An unusual and uplifting performance

Contact me through PAPACJ.com - In this video I was trying to be really nice as it was a charity fundraiser, but a woman started heckling me pretty much as soon as I stepped on the stage! I was left with no choice in the end!
