BAAT

Welcome to BAAT 2025 August Production!

BAAT celebrates International Women’s Day by announcing our next production, “Panchakanya”.This production celebrates the tales of five remarkable and legendary women characters from our Indian epics, presented in a thought-provoking fashion, connecting their relevance to modern-day society. Prepare to find these characters in a new light that will entertain you with pure drama, and the power of storytelling of our playwrights.

This collection of five playlets will mesmerize you with music, theater, and choreography, while challenging your conventional views on womanhood and celebrating its power. Directed by Anindya Chakraborty and co-authored by Anindya Chakraborty and Sayoni Ray – this drama will be staged on Saturday, August 23rd, at 3PM and 6PM; and on Sunday, August 24th at 3PM at the HUSD Performing Arts Center at 2390 Panama St, Hayward.
We heard your feedback and decided to give more room between our two plays to allow better distribution of cultural events across the year in the Bay Area.
