Plays & Theatre Shows in Surat

Surat has a long-standing audience for Gujarati theatre, and its stages are almost all municipal. Rang Upvan in Nanpura, a covered former open-air theatre for nearly 1,400 people, and the Sanjeev Kumar Auditorium in Pal are the regular addresses for Gujarati natak; Sardar Smruti Bhavan in Varachha, with 1,201 seats, serves the eastern half of the city; and the Performing Art Centre in Pal gives smaller groups a 309-seat room and rehearsal space. The Surat Municipal Corporation also runs a Natya Spardha, a drama competition, with ticket booking on its own portal. Hindi and English plays visit less often, so check Tara Moti Hall and the smaller auditoriums when they do. Evening shows commonly start at 9 pm or later.
