The National School of Drama Repertory Company

The National School of Drama Repertory Company was started in 1964 with four artistes, namely Shri Ramamurthy, Ms. Meena Williams, Ms Sudha Shivpuri and Shri Om Shivpuri.

The company presented works of various playwrights and directors who have been associated with it from time to time. The objective of the Repertory Company was to provide a platform to the graduates of the School in their academic interest and to perform plays professionally.

However, with the passage of time, it became one of NSD’s major institutions working on contemporary and modern plays and introducing experimental works on a regular basis. Apart from doing productions, it also organises its own Festival in the summers, where past and new productions are introduced and staged.

The National School of Drama Repertory Company is housed at 
1, Bahawalpur House,
Bhagwandas Road,
New Delhi-110001
