Thespo is an annual youth theatre festival.
Born in 1999, Thespo has grown from a one-evening event to a weeklong multi-city celebration of the best youth theatre that India has to offer. It is a platform for any and every young person under the age of 25 who is interested in any and all aspects of the theatre.
Thespo is held every December in Bombay where scores of participants come together to organise a national theatre festival, stage full length productions, short performances in informal spaces, attend workshops, build bridges across different schools of theatre, find friendships across thousands of miles, learn about theatre, life and themselves, form a living, thriving dynamic community of likeminded young individuals and perhaps walk away with a Thespo Award for excellence in one or more of many categories.
Mission:
- To recognise, encourage and showcase India's best youth theatre talent.
- To provide guidance and training to the future stars of theatre.
