Katha Munch proudly unveils its inaugural stage production for the San Francisco Bay Area community: "Akbar Birbal." Premiered at the Village Theater in Danville on February 10, 2024, the sold-out show's overwhelming success, the impromptu addition of a new show, our talented cast of 75+, and the rich cultural tapestry it weaves have left a lasting impression. With heartfelt testimonials from our cherished audiences, "Akbar Birbal" embodies all that we hold dear.
Katha Munch remains dedicated to bolstering community theater, providing a platform for newcomers and enthusiasts to explore their talents. Our ongoing commitment to the arts is exemplified by our involvement in initiatives like the Community Ram Leela. Originating with a vibrant young community from Dublin, CA in 2022, this tradition extended its reach to embrace the Tri-Valley community in November 2023.
