Theatre, Tiatr & Plays in Goa
1 events coming up across Goa — mostly theatre (1).
Theatre in Goa means tiatr first: Konkani musical plays in six or seven acts with satirical songs between them, staged by touring troupes most weekends. Ravindra Bhavan in Margao, with its 1,069-seat Pai Tiatrist hall, is the main stage. Kala Academy at Campal in Panaji runs the state tiatr competitions, though its main auditorium was due to close for repairs from August 2026. Konkani and Marathi drama are strongest around Ponda, where Rajiv Gandhi Kala Mandir hosts the 51st Konkani Drama Competition from 15 October to 10 November 2026, with a play each evening at 7 pm and ₹100 passes. English-language plays visit Panaji and Margao a few times a season. This page lists plays, tiatrs and drama festivals across Goa.
