Drama at Bharathi Academy

Bharathi Academy stands out in its rich theatrical tradition. This tradition has been continuing since 1994.

Bharathi Academy students stage neatly produced, high quality plays every year. While the plays target young audiences, they are also equally enjoyed by adults. The concepts and the language of the plays are  suited to and in tune with young people. Bharathi Academy plays help to cultivate children’s interest in the Tamil language. They promote a healthy artistic taste. By participating in these plays, children learn acting skills, use of body and space, voice projection and team working. They also develop imaginative skills and self-confidence.

Our students present three Drama Festivals every year. Because the plays are well practiced, meticulously produced and are entertaining, they are well appreciated by the audience. This gives immense satisfaction to the participants. Every student gets an opportunity to act in a play every year, which is unique to Bharathi Academy..

Bharathi Academy has been staging plays every year right from the inception. These scripts have been published in three volumes and are sought after internationally.
