DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?
You work and have built a stable career, but acting is something you’ve always wanted to explore. Maybe you’ve watched plays, films or performances and wondered, “Could I do this too?” But leaving your JOB isn’t practical. You have targets, responsibilities, EMIs, family commitments, or simply don’t want to risk the career you’ve worked hard to build. And perhaps the biggest problem is that you don’t know where to start. Stage Lab was created for exactly this situation.
YOU DON’T HAVE TO LEAVE YOUR
CAREER TO START ACTING
Starting acting doesn’t have to mean resigning from your job or putting your financial security at risk. You can begin by learning theatre, attending workshops, rehearsing during evenings or weekends and gradually building your experience alongside your job. Stage Lab gives you a practical first step. Come experience acting for yourself, understand what training involves and discover how you can realistically make acting a part of your life while continuing your career.

LIVING PROOF
Professionals Who Balance Their
Careers and Perform Live
Professionals from different industries have trained and performed with Naatakwaale while continuing their regular careers. They are living proof that you don't necessarily have to choose between your profession and your passion for acting.
“I have always been comfortable speaking in front of my students, but performing a character on stage was a completely different experience. Naatakwaale taught me how to listen, react and live in the moment instead of simply delivering lines.”
— Anurag Toppo, Teacher
“My weekdays are filled with meetings, deadlines and spreadsheets. Theatre with Naatakwaale gave me a space to switch off from work, meet people outside my corporate circle and finally do something I had wanted to try for years.”
— Pinky Gandhi, IT Professional
“As a professor, I am comfortable speaking in front of a classroom, but acting on stage was completely different. Naatakwaale taught me to stop overthinking, stay present and enjoy performing without worrying about being perfect.”
— Komal Harini, Professor
“As a lawyer, I am trained to think carefully before every word. Theatre challenged me to react honestly in the moment. I was hesitant initially, but the rehearsals and feedback at Naatakwaale helped me open up and become far more expressive.”
— Atharva Sawant, Lawyer
Professionals from demanding careers have found a way to make theatre a part of their lives.
