On November 7, 2025, Chennai's performing arts community is set to kick off a fortnight-long celebration of theatre, dialogue, and shared discovery. The Community Festival 2025, curated by theatre practitioner Craig Lobo, is running until November 14 at Medai, The Stage in Alwarpet.
Lobo explains that the festival is built on three core ideas: curiosity, collaboration, and courage. The aim is to create an open, reflective space for artists and audiences to explore the craft together. "This is not just about performances," he says. "It is about the conversations that follow, between directors, actors, technicians and the audience, about what we just experienced together."
