Jagriti Theatre Review

Art appreciation is quite honestly something to be proud of. But there are always people who forget the humane side of things !.

Quite recently travelled all the way from a different city to attend a play for one night, booked my tickets, paid the fee, reached the city, booked my cab one and a half hours before the show even though it said only half an hour calculated by Google maps and because of abnormal amounts of traffic we reached the venue 5 minutes late.

Now given the rules of the venue I understand that there is clearly a certain sense of pride for the staff in adhering and enforcing the rules of timing to reach the venue but at the same I strongly believe an exception must be AT LEAST considered for maybe an 80 year old woman attending her son's play or a family member travelling from different city for one night just to see the play but because of the 5 minute delay of the traffic we were not allowed into the venue.

I would also like to point out that one particular staff member by the name laki (if I'm not mistaken) had over expressed her authority in a completely impolite manner stating that "No matter who you are or what you do I don't care because I will not let you in, I make the decisions around here and it's your fault for coming late". This is no way to address somehow who has been through all that to see the play. Completely rude and inhuman they way she dealt with the situation and I strongly recommend that jagriti look into this.

A must visit place in Bangalore. Have some very nice plays

A great place for art and theatre lovers! An awesome intimate space, that comes to life when stories about life are being told. Something always touches the core my being everytime I am there.

It's a great place to visit. Parking can be a hassle. Try to arrive early.

The theatre is very good, but we could not find parking easily

Nice and well maintained Auditorium.
Nice acoustic.

Loved the decor - the masks, the books, the bells. There was an amazing standup comedy routine. Great place...

Great theater and you can visit it for attending any good plays

Quaint, serene and wonderful place. Parking can be a pain at times, but otherwise there are dedicated parking spots if you reach early. Very well managed theatre. Good for kids

Best theatre performance... Second to none. The other place is rangashankara.

We have attended a variety of events at Jagriti ever since it opened. Last week, during Society Blues play, we first time experienced sound issues - the voice of some actors was not audible.

This is way to humanity damaging throgh theater way people enjoyed and drinking water and cooldrinks goutr se ho baby I love i never seen this theater

Beautiful theatre ,seating is excellent.Everybody has a view

It is in side the residence of renaissance jagriti. There is a separate entry and exit for theater with separate parking. It is a play/ script theater.

Difficult to find. No prominent boards put up. Not many people are aware of the place. So if you are going for first time keep an hour before the time of event so that you can search the place

Very good theater, like rangashankara but smaller, Good workshops, clean bathrooms, nice canteen

The sound and acoustics are very good. The seats are comfortable and the theatre has a great location.

Great intimate feel with limited seating and a semicircle view

The theatre is spacious enough and well maintained.

Got to watch sketchy beahviour by kemny and kanan.....good one!

Lovely place promoting performing arts...Theres a small cafe attached to the theatre which is well stocked...The theatre is well lit and well maintained. Timings are adhered to and the announcements prior to a show are clear and precise. The fifth star that I did not click on was for the fact that there were a lot of mosquitoes and for what I feel is a structural drawback. The steps are rather high and it seems scary to watch some of the older folk climb up or down... It would be nice to see something done about it.

A must visit place for theatre lovers. Very well managed place.

Jagriti is a theatre persons delight around Whitefield.

Cosy theatre. Good sound system. Located next to a lovely dining place. Fat chef

Small theatre. Excellent seating. Parking is limited, so helps to arrive early.

Very good theatre for music shows n plays...small but well maintained

A very cozy theatre. The first few rows are very close to the stage. Nice selection of plays. Great location, right on Varthur main road

One of the finest spaces for theatre and the arts. The space is beautifully designed with a fantastic thrust stage and marvelous acoustics. The options for lighting are literally endless and it's a delight both for the artist and for the patrons to experience the magic of theatre. The management lives and breathes theatre, which makes them wonderful to work with.

Small but nicely done theatre
Went there to watch Oleana play and was very happy with the experience

I saw it only from outside but i thought smaller than expected

Cozy performing arts theater with tiered seating for up to 200 people.

Nice place, great vibes..auditorium is good, with good sound quality and ambience, people are friendly. Loved the akuri in the snacks stall.

We watched a play called Guilt. Beautiful play with great performance by the actors. The theater in itself is also quite nice. They give proper warning before the play starts, seats are good and the stage is also at a good proximity from the seats. Loved it, will definitely recommend and go again for a different play.

Cozy and up-close with the artist. Parking is an issue though

A small intimate stage. Holds multiple must see events in a year.

Nice small tucked away kind of theater. The restaurant adjoining it is also very good for fusion food.

Excellent theatre for an intimate and cozy experience. Steps inside the theatre are steep but one has a great view of the stage without obstruction. Some limited parking is available if one is early. Sound was great too, though I am not sure if that was organised externally or part of the theatre itself.

Wonderful venue in Whitefield for theatre based events

We went for the play ' societal woes' which had good actors and good script. While ambience in Jagrithi is good, it doesn't come up to rangasankara. Also, I was expecting a good cafe inside like that in rangasankara. But overall, a good experience

Very decent set up and can be utilized for a small to mid size performance gathering..hygiene n cleanliness factors need to be taken care of.

Well deserved place to be in if you love the arts and their work.

Great setup for theatre artists to perform n bring their message out to the audience.

Loved the theatre! Sitting arrangement & stage is good, height between two rows is sufficient enough for everyone to see.

Lovely quaint place with a vibrant community. Parking is a problem especially if the show is fully booked

Excellent acoustics. The show "Mandukya Sant Vani" was a delight both for the ears and the eyes.

It's a great place for theatre enthusiasts. Very organised. Kudos for keeping the theater culture alive. :)

Other than the mosquitoes, loved the ambience and proximity to the stage.

Had been to open mic in the amphitheater. Small place but nicely maintained.
