Thespian Circle-Drama
Thespian Circle-Drama
Stars have airs, actors have egos, but artistes are God’s own instruments to create and spread beauty through art.

The Thespian Circle was born from relentless effort, hours of dedication, and an abiding love for the stage. Without passion, the stage is empty and meaningless. To keep that passion alive and make every event a true success, we must continuously fuel our fire and embrace the practices that elevate our art and impact

Experience and Express

“The depth of our art is shaped by the depth of our experiences.”
In dramatics, what we bring to the stage is not just performance but a reflection of everything we’ve felt, seen, and lived. Without experiences — real, imagined, or observed — there is little to draw from, little to express with authenticity. Even when we dislike a play or a story, the very act of experiencing it gives us perspective and voice. The more we immerse ourselves in life — in its joys, struggles, and stories — the richer our creative expression becomes, allowing us to embody characters and narratives with truth and depth.

Our Acts
Stage Play

The Thespian Circle presents the Stage Play where studnets showcase their brilliant skills of molding theatre, comedy, tragedy and emotions into a dramatic mosaic. It is a sophisticated expression of a basic human need –to mimic, to project stories onto ourselves and others, and to create meaning through narrative and metaphor. It provides an opportunity where young students can come together and share together in witnessing and contemplating an event that may be beautiful, funny, moving, thought-provoking, or hopefully at least diverting.

Nukkad Natak

A street play that combines in most effective of ways, group performances with live acting along with hearty songs and dance sequences. Students deliver a theatrical performance in outdoor public space of JIIT without a specific paying audience. It aims to provide a platform to share a much intimate, brief and direct connect with the common man and the youth and address the social/political message head-on with the help of drama. Watch ingenious actors voice their opinions on current smoldering issues while the offer avenues for wholesome entertainment.
