Feature Works

Here And Now Theatre is where stories come alive—stories that delve deep into the human experience, exploring love, loss, power, identity, and everything in between. Founded by Aakash Prabhakar after years of intensive theatre training, the company is driven by a simple yet profound mission: to create meaningful performances that resonate with today’s audiences.

Over the past seven years, we’ve performed to packed houses, staging over 300 shows that have touched hearts, sparked conversations, and left audiences with something to take home. From original creations to critically acclaimed adaptations, our productions are not just performances—they are experiences that stay with you long after the final curtain call.

Every play we bring to the stage is a labor of love, crafted with passion, creativity, and a desire to connect deeply with our audience. We believe theatre is more than entertainment; it’s a way to hold a mirror to life, ask difficult questions, and celebrate the shared humanity that unites us all.
