Upcoming Event
Off-Kendrik is organizing the fourth SAATh theater festival November 21-23rd at the Mosesian Center for the Arts, Watertown. SAATh is a celebration of coming together of diverse communities in South Asia and beyond through theater and story-telling. As the world around us gets more challenging and complex, Off-Kendrik has realized the necessity of creating a platform for opening dialogues and building partnerships between communities.
The fourth SAATh festival continues to explore the role of artists and their responsibilities in our community through theater. This year we have dedicated the Inauguration and the opening evening to women artists and their creative pursuits and challenges. We continue our support of multilingual South Asian Theater groups in the Greater Boston area with five new productions. We are also bringing high quality, thought provoking diverse theater in collaboration with Indian Heritage and Cultural Association, NJ named as Natya Darpan, Boston
We are proud to announce that we have been selected by the @AsianCommunityFund for a 2025 grant. ACF’s commitment to supporting and uplifting the AAPI community aligns powerfully with our mission and will help expand our vital work. Read more about it here
Off-Kendrik is proud to present Ujjan at the 10th Natya Darpan Festival in New Jersey.
'Your child will grow and develop differently compared to the children you see, Mom and Dad. Your kid will have a different journey, and so will you.'
One sentence, one diagnosis- the almost achieved dream of suburban house, summer barbecues, Birthday parties, yearly vacations, busy evening pick up and drop offs all just come to a screeching halt. An unforeseen journey starts for the family. How will they cope?
'Ujaan' -a parent's journey against all odds.

About Off-Kendrik:
Off-Kendrik brings the South Asian community to the center stage of Boston/New England, through Art, Theatre and Storytelling. With our roots in Bengali theatrical productions, we have rapidly evolved to embrace the rich montage of languages and artistic traditions that blend within the fabric of South Asian culture
The annual SaaTh festival showcases the best of South Asian theatre in its endeavor to be inclusive of the region's diverse languages. Our storytelling event called Voices curates impactful immigrant experiences from the South Asian community. Theatre workshops are organized regularly to learn about various forms, techniques and content of theater and storytelling. Off-Kendrik provides a platform for expression to various theatre groups, social activists and young leaders. We also stage original plays in Bengali that are conceived, scripted and enacted by the team.

OFF-KENDRIK CAUSES
India is being devastated by the 2020-21 pandemic. In addition to regular fundraising efforts by the group, we encourage donors to support the following organizations doing important work (names are links). Every little bit helps.
* Aid Boston | * Give India | * Anudip | * Milaap
HELP FOR COVID victims in India
The recent spate of hate crimes against Asians in the United States, including the vicious murders in Atlanta, brazenly violate all notions of social justice. Deeply committed to diversity, inclusion and social justice, Off-Kendrik stands in solidarity with the ongoing protests against these crimes, as it does with any resistance to racial or other injustices anywhere.
Off-Kendrik firmly stands with the strike of screenwriters at WGA ( Writers Guild of America) and the actors at SAG-AFTRA for the minimum pay, pay conditions, residual pay, the impact and usage of the generative AI, and other employment conditions.
Shame on AMPTP ( Alliance of Motion Pictures & Television Producers, which consists of all the big names such as Amazon, Netflix, Paramount-CBS, Disney-ABC-Hulu-Fox, NBC, Sony and others) for the bad faith negotiations with the guild !! So far the studios have shown utter disrespects to the writers and the actors and offered 20% of what were being asked.
Off-Kendrik strongly supports this labor movement for better pay, usage of AI and against the supreme greed of the studios.
