The Company Theatre (TCT), established in 1993 continues to work with the singular commitment to Theatre. A non-profit registered organization TCT is a theatre ensemble of professional and amateur artists working through repertory performances and professional training. Led by Atul Kumar, TCT seeks to explore interdisciplinary art forms and to develop diverse artiste and audience communities all over the world. TCT conducts nation-wide theatre workshops that involve maximum representation of participants from all backgrounds. The workshops are open to students, corporates, artists and academics. Apart from organizing national & international theatre festivals, TCT has also performed extensively in festivals around the world. TCT started "Theatre at Home" in the year 2000, whereby theatre was taken into people's drawing rooms, terraces, backyards and other alternative spaces. TCT has also organized various seminars and conferences on theatre related issues.

Conscious of the need to be accessible to other cultures as well as gain access to them, The Company Theatre has decided to direct its efforts towards an ambitious plan - that of founding "EVAM"- an International Centre for Theatre Research and Creation in Lonavala, Maharashtra. It aims to provide residency programs in theatre for creative work and research to both Indian as well as foreign artistes.
