Sanhita Manch, now in its 7th edition, returns this August with a power-packed lineup of original plays, discussions, and theatre-centric conversations, once again affirming its commitment to the written word and the evolving language of theatre.

Presented by Being Association, the festival runs from 1st to 3rd August 2025 at P.L. Deshpande Kala Academy, Ravindra Natya Mandir, Mumbai. The event is a confluence of playwrights, directors, performers, and theatre enthusiasts, all gathering to explore the literary soul of theatre.

This year's festival will open with a special inaugural ceremony at 6 PM, led by renowned theatre critic and writer Shanta Gokhale. The evening will be graced by celebrated actor and theatre stalwart Seema Bhargava Pahwa, who joins as the Chief Guest, along with acclaimed film and stage actor Jaideep Ahlawat as the Special Guest.

Their presence underscores the growing significance of Indian playwriting and the importance of platforms like Sanhita Manch. The dignitaries will also unveil the published editions of the winning plays, brought to life in print by Kautilya Books.

"Sanhita Manch is more than a festival; it's a movement," says actor Mohd. Zeeshan Ayyub, one of the festival's champions. "There is light at the end of the tunnel… Theatre is that light. It is our duty not to let it out, so that future generations can also see that light."

Echoing this sentiment, director and actor Rasika Agashe adds, "Theatre is our love language. When there is too much drama happening in the world, the real drama gives me hope and a sense of peace."

Beyond the performances, this year's festival will also feature talks, panel discussions, and immersive sessions focused on the evolution of playwriting, its contemporary relevance, and how modern socio-cultural shifts are shaping narratives on stage.
