we are Jwala Productions

An NYC-based theatre company dedicated to telling South-Asian stories from the diaspora and beyond.

Who We Are

Jwala; meaning flame, spark.

Founded by playwright and actor Niranjani Reddi, we are dedicated to telling South Asian stories with a community of supportive, engaged and intentional artists in the city.

The name also pays homage to the Jwala Heri market in Delhi - a place Niranjani holds very close to her heart.

What We Do

  • We host readings of new, original work by theatre-makers

  • We find platforms for production - our very first show is being presented by The Tank in April!

  • Our door is always open, and we’re constantly seeking out artists who are interested in having their work supported.
