The group theatre of Kolkata refers to a tradition in theatres in the Indian city Kolkata, which developed in the 1940s as an alternative to entertainment-oriented theatres.[1] As opposed to commercial theatres, group theatre is "a theatre that is not professional or commercial",[1] characterized by its tendency for experimentation in theme, content and production,[1] and its aim of using the proscenium stage to highlight social messages, rather than having primarily making-money objectives.[2][3]
