Jagriti was founded by theatre enthusiasts Arundhati and Jagdish Raja, who established it as an independent space for the arts.
The facility features a dedicated library and cafe area, often used for post-show discussions.
It was specifically built to provide an alternative to larger, less intimate auditoriums in Bengaluru.
Jagriti Theatre is a dedicated 200-seat thrust stage venue in Whitefield, Bengaluru, specifically designed for intimate live performances. The facility includes an attached restaurant, The Jagriti Season, which serves as a social hub for attendees before and after shows. The programming focus emphasizes original plays, international theatre, stand-up comedy, and musical performances. Constructed as a private venture, it serves as a community anchor for the local arts scene. The venue layout ensures that no seat is more than a few rows from the stage, prioritizing audience engagement. It remains a key destination for independent theater groups and touring national productions.
