South Asian Theater, Film and Storytelling

EnActe Arts is a nonprofit theater company that tells South Asian stories with universal appeal. Since 2011, we have produced new plays, musicals, films and readings that put South Asian voices at the center of American stages, from the Bay Area to New York.

Most of what we produce is new work. Through the EnActe International Playwriting Competition, we find writers from around the world and develop their scripts from first reading to full production. Our EnActe Film Lab trains and supports emerging South Asian filmmakers.

We also invest in people and organizations. The EnActe School of Drama and Aspire offer acting, writing and performance training for young people and adults. EnPower brings theater techniques into the workplace, with corporate training that builds communication, presence and collaboration. In Sunnyvale, The EnActarium is our home for rehearsals, workshops, readings and partner events.

Whether you come to see a show, take a class, audition or support our work, there is a place for you at EnActe. Explore our productions, find upcoming events, or make a gift to keep South Asian stories on stage.
