A King In Tumakuru
What happens when a powerful wizard nurtures an 18-year-long plan to raise an emperor among an unsuspecting people? Quite the obvious: unexpected situations, roaming creatures, merriment, magic. Based on a popular Arthurian novel, A King in Tumakuru is performed by a troupe of 10 to 15-year-old actors of Osage Courtyard Theatre. The play seeks to prise us out of our selves, giving us a vantage from where to see, with sympathy, the existential travails of underdogs, other selves, and other lives.
The Chalk Circle
Bertolt Brecht’s masterpiece gets a local colour in Osage’s latest play The Chalk Circle set in the small struggling village of Gorugentapalya. This drama explores two mothers claiming a child, and a maverick judge who employs an unusual test to find a resolution.

The Riddler's Box
A young man with an imperishable spirit of adventure named Ali, teams with Paku, a fearless archer seeking to avenge his sister and kill the feared witch that lives in the Cave of Doom. Together they dodge creatures, solve riddles and make their way through a cathartic and magical adventure in this musical theatre.

The Adventures of Luna and Nagesha
Borrowing from Douglas Adams’ The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, this play traverses the Milky Way and is a reflection on thoughtless urbanization and ecological chaos as interpreted, written and performed by teen participants of the Courtyard Theatre troupe.

The Whistle Blower
The Whistle Blower is a modern-day adaptation of the Pied Piper of Hamelin that is written, directed and performed by the children at Osage Courtyard Theatre. Mixing legend and folklore with present day paraphernalia and projections, this remake of a children's classic is mirthful, honest and tightly woven around the imagination of its participants.
