Event Details

Tell stories. Build connections. Share the journey.

Connections India is a youth theatre programme presented by the NCPA, created in association with the National Theatre, London.

Now in its fourth year, Connections brings together young people, schools, directors, mentors and theatre-makers to create and perform new plays written by acclaimed playwrights for young audiences and has expanded into 4 cities this year.

It’s about more than putting on a play. It’s about the process of making theatre: finding your voice, working together, exploring ideas, taking creative risks and sharing stories.

How it works

Young people across Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore and Delhi work with professional directors and theatre-makers to rehearse and stage their plays at the City Festivals starting Oct – Dec 2026 , culminating in a National Festival in Mumbai from 24–31 January 2027.

From the rehearsal room to the stage, Connections is a celebration of young people, new writing and the power of theatre to bring people together.

Follow the journey

Four cities. Hundreds of young people. New plays. New voices. One shared journey.
