Kala Soudha:

This auditorium hosts dance, drama, music and movies. With a view to address the dearth of venues, we dedicate KHKS to Bangalore’s culturally-rich citizens and connoisseurs of art.

Mahapeede Mahablu:

As the name suggests the play is about a man who's OCD has taken a heavy toll on everyone he knows. The play is constructed around the situation of two divorcees under one roof. One has loved the family to reach there and the other neglected the family, extremities to the core gets the comedy out of the play. Their conflict adds to the humor element of the play and lays path to ROFL comedy.

Masthi Kallu:

This play unlike the original script which was about Roopa Kanwar the Sati case in Rajhastan has turned out into a love story. Shivaram Karanth in his Sarasammana Samadhi narrates how different women will behave in situations similar to Roopa Kanwar. Masti Kallu's reference is taken to prove to people that love exists in all situations & Masti Kallu refers to our play being witness to one such instance. That instance is the just of the play.

Namma Nimmolagobba:

Namma Nimmolagobba - one among us as it translates in English is a thriller. The play written by well known theater thespian Rajendra Karanth is a classic play with all the ingredients to place the audience at the edge of their seat. This play has been successfully staged several times by several generations of theater enthusiasts.

RangaAayama 2014:

The annual festival of Prakasam in Kala Soudha for the fifth time. With more members this certainly was Team Prakasam all the way.  We wish the support we got from public for this show continues as it has been for the other events.  With BR Chaya, Sumana Kittur, Sihi Kahi Geeta being part of the event on stage, it certainly was the biggest festival we had ever organised.

Bhava Navanaveena:

The absence of a pure musical production was answered earlier by Ugalageethe.  To pay tribute to Rasthrakavi Dr. GSS, we performed a dance showcase where music was composed by us and choreography was too done in-house.  This was the best dance performance so far for Team Prakasam.

Vaave:

When a confession brings a man and a woman face to face with reality, it has repercussions far beyond what they could have imagined. As further confessions and events unfold, they threaten to tear a family apart. Skeletons tumble rapidly from cupboards and it becomes increasingly unclear as to who is the victim and who is the victimizer. The facade of sophistication is gradually unmasked and the people involved come face to face with themselves. All because of.....VAAVE.

Kattalu:

Kattalu deals with a team of young theatre enthusiasts who are rehearsing a drama with the same name in a supposedly haunted auditorium. During the process of the event a series of unexplainable/paranormal incidents haunt the team. People go missing and there is a death on stage. The actor portraying death dies on stage to the shock of the rest the man never gets up. Panicking team goes through a lot of mess and are revealed with the truth which will shock the audiences as well.

Avalavanu Avanavalu:

Relationship between the opposite sexes is the crux of the play.  The conversations happen through poems written by Chetana and Sathish.  This experiment was the toughest so far for Team Prakasam.

Mr. Shambho Shiva Shankara:

This rib ticker play written and directed by Nagendra Shah for us was a blessing in disguise. We are all set to enthrall the audiences of all ages with this production.

Katha Sangama:

A bouquet of famous Kannada stories around gradients of love – to please, to formulate, to differentiate, to appreciate, to perform and to empower.

Gulle Nari:

The play is a comical satire which was created in the earlier days of Srinivas Prabhu’s (writer & director of the play) career but is absolutely relatable to the current scenario in the society.

KHKS 4:

Kala Soudha the pride possession of Prakasam completed four years.  Like every year this year too we celebrated our festival in style. We had movie, music, dance and drama showcased like in all our previous festivals.

Ugalageetamaalike:

Prakasam had never produced any dance show before apart from the dances which were included in our play's.  This was the first time when we produced a dance showcase and it was received amazingly well to our amazement.

First Time-ever Fest:

For the first time ever three first time ever cocept plays and Bombatt Bhojana Habba were combined with Free Acting and Belly Dancing workshops.  What started as a small play festival turned out to be a mega scale entertainer for all the people who performed in them.

Rangaayama 4:

Our annual festival of performing arts which will showcase young and professional performances. We promise to keep you entertained. Link below for details...

Bogie:

Story of our lives, this is the tag line of the play & with Sihi Kahi Chandru back with us with a bang, the play is designed to entertain & enthuse the audiences.

Yaksha: (Under Production)

Prakasam's first one man show, which showcases the day to day life and gives a different perspective from the story of Yaksha Prashne from Mahabharatha. The contemporary Dharma questions back the Yaksha, who is ageless.  The questions range from mere material claims of humans to the godly call of being righteous. The humorous conversation will not only enthuse the audience to participate but also involve them in a way that they empathise with Yaksha as well as Dharma.

Sairandhri:

Story of our live-style
Our lives are heavy with burdens or what we want to refer to as being busy every minute. It’s a common thing to hear people complain and brag about not having enough time or having 30 hours a day or 9 days a week etc. We have categorically forgotten the essence of life amidst this congested and complicated life is that our life is what we make it to be and not others. The play Sairandhri (name of Draupadi in Agjnyatavasa) deals with the same haunting subject of mislead lives and suffocating lifestyles.

Rayakota 1858:
(Under Production)

Spine chilling story of what happened in 1858 in Rayakote a then British strong hold near Salem in current Tamil Nadu. This will narrate the story of the tenure of Lord Cubbon, the man responsible for modern state of Mysore and as well as for making Bangalore Cantonment safest place for British employees of the East India Company.

Rangaayama 3:

Our annual festival of performing arts which will showcase young and  professional performances, in Dance, Drama, Music and screen a Movie. We promise to keep you entertained. Link below for details...

World Theatre Day'11:

The best of the programs organized for the masses we had utilized every possible space at Kala Soudha & was well appreciated by media as well as the crowds..

13 Margosa Mahal:

For the first time in the history of Kannada theatre, a theatre presentation conceptualized with special 5D effects. We planned this to cultivate new audiences.

Hosabelaku:

For the first time in the history of Kannada theatre, First of its kind theatre presentation conceptualized with reference to a novel and a movie. Balanced adaptation of novel & movie won all hearts all round.  This has been the favorite production of Prakasam teammates.

Doosra:

Doosra’s (“Cricket on Stage) protagonist is the Game of Cricket itself. The story of Cricket is depicted through the life of a 20 year old sportsman. This was produced and supported by Prakasam and was a venture production with Team Paradigm.

Rangaayama 2:

This was the first festival of Prakasam to be held in Kala Soudha marking the occasion of opening of Kala Soudha to the public to book and to relish performing arts.

Keetale:

Keetale means Mischief a stand up comedy & acts show performed by Sihi Kahi Chandru. Keetale’s has been the most successful theatre venture of Prakasam.  2005 Show Details

Bembidada Bhootha:

Prakasam had just then formed we did a lot of stuff initially with Rangashankara & HN Kalakshetra since we didnt have Kala Soudha with us. A classic thriller penned by G V Shivanand was produced initially by Silver Blue & later on saw many shows. We are proud to also have been invited for festivals to stage our play and also was received very well with the theatrical audience.

Ammavra Ganda:

Ammavra Ganda is rib tickling family drama taking the audiences from chair to floor with solid punch lines of T P Kailasam. Play has morals for good family life and was very well received by audiences of all ages. This production in-fact put Prakasam on the Theater map of the state.
