The Drama School Mumbai

You can find us over at 5/5 Spenta on B. G. Kher Marg. It’s not your typical school building with a big playground or anything like that. We occupy a space that feels more like a workshop or a rehearsal studio. Most days, the rooms are filled with students doing physical exercises or practicing their lines. It can get pretty intense and loud, especially when a performance is coming up soon. We don't have a lot of frills. There are mats on the floor, some lights, and maybe a few props leaning against the walls in the corners. People who come here are serious about theater, so they don’t mind the sweat or the long hours spent in a small room. The location is quite central, so we get people coming in from all over the city. Sometimes it feels a bit cramped when we have a full cohort, but that’s usually when the best work happens. We don’t have a big administrative staff; it’s mostly just us making sure the schedules are set and the space is ready for whoever is teaching that day. You might find some old costumes tucked away in a cupboard or scripts lying around on the chairs. It’s a working space for actors, and it looks like one. It's practical and a bit messy, but it serves the purpose.
