About Us
An attempt at propelling the classical art of theatre into newer, unexplored and younger territories; Delhi Theatre Festival brings leading artists from the industry and theatre lovers under one roof, in a cultural confluence of nuance, craft and the catharsis provided by performing arts. A platform where the otherwise-entertainment-starved Delhi NCR audience gets its fill of extraordinary performances by their favorite artists. Spawned by Alchemist Live, the festival is an effort to widen the audience demographic that watches and enjoys theatre and until now, we’ve seen a leap of a difference happen

Artist Testimonials
Delhi Theatre Festival is a very good step for theatre artists and theatre lovers in Delhi and from all over India.
It was a pleasure to inaugurate DTF, hope to have a longer relationship with Alchemist.
I'm happy that such festivals are being held because it will enrich the Delhi audiences and will give us more opportunities to perform in front of people.
I give full marks to the team of Delhi Theatre Festival to do this and on such a large scale.
It has been a wonderful experience, wonderful audience, wonderful organization and on such a big scale. I wish Alchemist all the best and hope they keep calling us.
I’m thrilled to be part of the Delhi Theatre Festival again, especially in my hometown, Delhi, where I first performed over 50 years ago…
This is the third time we are collaborating with Delhi Theatre Festival... A theatre festival like this is a wonderful idea – to work as a bridge between theatre practitioners and audience. More power to you.
Theatre is an actor’s medium... performing live is gratifying... the Delhi audience has been very kind. Never had a bad show in Delhi, so I am hoping this streak continues.
