Jammu and Kashmir is primarily famous for its folk theatre and has gained a different color for its regional culture of performing arts. The theatre companies have its own genre of theoretical performance where no clear-cut categories of dance, drama or music. Theatre in Jammu and Kashmir is a sort of total theatre and an amalgam of many media. The Bhand Pather of Kashmir, Achi Lamo and Manepa in Ladakh and the Ras and Bhagat in Jammu region are different forms of theatres in the state having a fine combination of all these form. Bhand Pather, Theatre Companies in Jammu & KashmirBhand Pather is very popular with the common masses, because they have retained its singular patrons to date.

Folk Theatre in Jammu region has religious implications and the popular performances of the theatre are those showing scenes from Indian epics like Mahabharata and Ramayana. Kashmir s renowned folk theatre artist and noted satirist Ghulam Ali Majboor once in an interview said that the theatre artists are coming up with incredible talent and depict the Kashmir turmoil at its best. He also said that theatre in Kashmir was alive and developing despite government indifference, moreover Kashmiri theatre artists do not get much recognition. There is lack of training workshops and theatre companies in Jammu and Kashmir to promote the upcoming talents and valuable play scripts. The Jammu and Kashmir Academy of Art, Culture and Languages is a single body, which looks into all the facets of performing arts in this north Indian state. Samooh Theatre is one of the prominent theatre companies of Jammu and Kashmir, established almost 12 years back and with the continuous efforts and spirit of service they have acquired a recognized position in the state. The group conducted around 175 shows, activities, children theatre festivals, theatre festivals for young all across northern India. The organization has also brought about theatre -in- education workshops for slums, Rural and Urban children as well, theatre seminars. Several experiments play such as Dramatize of Dogri poetry soliloquies of world classic plays were sponsored by Samooh Theatre.
