Founded in 1977 by Jatinder Verma, Tara Arts (charity number: 295547) is the UK’s longest standing Asian-led theatre company.  From Tara Theatre in Earlsfield in south-west London, we: 

•	Produce new work, including adaptations of classics and original children’s theatre, as well as fresh takes on traditional forms such as pantomime. Many of these productions tour throughout the UK and beyond
•	Nurture the talents of early and mid-career theatre artists, producers, technicians and designers, in particular those from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic backgrounds
•	Present a dynamic programme of work by new and established companies from across the globe, underpinned by a diverse programme of workshops, talks and events

In 2014, we will be embarking on a major £1.9 million renovation of Tara Theatre to create a landmark new UK centre of excellence for small-scale, cross-cultural theatre.  Designed by Arts Team (part of the global architectural firm RHWL) the outstanding new facility will transform our ability to produce, present and tour contemporary theatre.  It will double our revenue-generating spaces, increasing our annual footfall to over 30,000 people and the number of artists we work with to over 1,800 per year.
