Drama School Mumbai’s Niloufer Sagar Alumni Production Grant (NSAPG) will present five original theatre productions as part of the NSAPG Showcase 2026, taking place from 8 June to 12 June 2026 at Rangshila Theatre, Versova. The showcase will feature one performance each evening at 7:30 PM, bringing together new work created by DSM alumni across multiple languages, forms, and performance traditions.
Since its inception, NSAPG has supported over 25 productions by DSM alumni, helping emerging theatre-makers create and stage original work beyond the classroom. The showcase marks an important step in DSM’s growing effort to support sustained independent theatre-making and create pathways for new theatrical voices and performance practices in India.
At a time when independent theatre-makers face shrinking resources and limited developmental support, initiatives like NSAPG are attempting to create longer-term structures for new work to emerge, evolve, and continue beyond a single production cycle. The showcase brings together stories rooted in regional cultures, contemporary politics, memory, gender, climate, music, and personal histories — reflecting the diversity of voices shaping contemporary Indian theatre today.
