Our Collaborators
We are thrilled to be one of the grantees of the Connections Through Culture Programme by The British Council.
This grant, in collaboration with Theatr Iolo, Wales has given us the opportunity to create quality children theatre from Hyderabad.
Three of our local practitioners from Hyderabad are being mentored by Lee Lyford, Artistic Director, Theatre Iolo, Wales and are creating three exciting productions for children’s based on three different themes.

HCTF is proud to announce the Young Playwrights’ Competition, in partnership with Theatr Iolo, Wales.
We are looking for original, imaginative and relevant 10-minute plays, written by young people, between the ages 7-16, for audiences of the same age group. If you are a young writer with a story to share, we want to hear from you
As part of this playwriting competition, participants will have access to a digital masterclass by Shaili Sathyu, Gillo repertory theatre & Dr. Sita Thomas, Artistic Director, Fio, Wales. Participants will also be supported with offline workshops conducted by local practitioners Vaishali Bisht, Shayontoni Ghosh & Vinay Abhishek.
This year we plan to bring the productions to an outdoor space at your housing society over the weekends, where the children can watch two of our local theatre practitioners perform with all the covid safety norms in place. These performances are 20 minutes each with the maximum audience capacity of 20 children per show.
