Hart House, Toronto

About the event

Join us at Hart House Theatre Nov 5 – Nov 7, 2026, for this important and powerful production. Nirbhao (Without Fear) follows four South Asian women trapped together in a strange place that feels like a home, yet offers no way out. Blending drama with dance-driven theatre, the women discuss what it means to exist as a woman. As they confront the stories that brought them there, the question remains: are they trapped by the place itself, or by the lives they left behind? The original production received the President's Award for Best Production at the 2026 Hart House U of T Drama Festival. Written and Directed by Jannat Narang Featuring: Sharanya Verman, Navmi Angadi, Michelle Naidu, Smera Shirali, Rakshita Kathuria, Zahshanne Malik, Sajida Chowdhury, Sapna Sehravat Show Date: Nov 5 – Nov 7, 2026 Curtain: 8:00 PM Location: Hart House Theatre Tickets: Adult $20 | Senior $18 | Student $15 Post-Show Discussion Stay in your seats following the performance for a post-show discussion on Friday, November 6, and join us in the lobby for a celebration of South Asian culture.
