Intrepid plays by fearless women since 1991
Building Worlds. Telling Stories. Together.
For over 30 years, Kali Theatre has been a home for female-identifying and non-binary writers of South Asian descent. We move beyond the script to build entire worlds—through design, sound and space—where ground-breaking work can thrive.
This is theatre for today. For tomorrow. For everybody.

An awesome and unsettling experience”
