History

The Sanket Trust was founded in 1992 by a group of theatre lovers, many of whom had worked with Shankar Nag and Arundhati Nag in the Sanket theatre group. Rangashankara was established in 2001 as an initiative of Sanket Trust, for bringing local and international performances to the theatre audiences in Bangalore, at an affordable cost and provide performing space to theatre groups at an affordable rent.[2][4]
