Natya Darpan 2025
Saturday, August 23, 2025 @ 11:30am

New Brunswick Performing Arts Center (NBPAC)
11 Livingston Avenue, New Brunswick, NJ 08901

Since its inception in 2016, Natya Darpan has been a pioneering multilingual short play festival, showcasing the transformative power of theater beyond linguistic and cultural barriers. What began as a collaborative effort among local theater groups has grown into a premier platform for diverse artistic expression, highlighting intra-community struggles and socially relevant themes.
Our mission is to connect people, cultures, and perspectives through theater. Over the past ten years, Natya Darpan has featured over 650 local artists across the U.S., presenting thought-provoking performances that resonate with diverse audiences.
What makes Natya Darpan truly unique is its philosophy. It’s a showcase, not a competition, offering complete creative freedom to directors to bring their artistic visions to life. We prioritize out-of-the-box concepts and thought-provoking messages, focusing on substance over elaborate sets or props.
Saturday: 11:30 am to 6:00 pm
Sunday: 12:00 pm to 6:00 pm
This event will have a 45-minute intermission.
