Caravan is a people’s performing arts group formed in 2005 by few theater enthusiasts in our South Asian-American art loving community of Greater Augusta (Georgia, USA).

In July 2006, Caravan opened its doors with a sold out performance of Hindi comedy play “Arey! Shareef Log” and donated profit to another Charitable Trust to support children welfare fund. This year we gave another sold out performance of another Indian comedy classic at Augusta, GA. Caravan gives an outlet for creative community involvement, to create multilingual participatory performing art, innovative  entertainment, simulating a glimpse of what the art is all about in South Asian region. We are also in process of taking the light music & dance drama seriously involving all ages, and ethnic groups of people from South Asia.

Caravan expand its goal to involve communities from all ethenic groups and any religious belief. We organised workshops under our “Learn & Share” program for the younger generation of South Asian-American community to create an understanding about various customs, dances and foods under this program. In this short time Caravan entered into other art forms such as musical theater, dance drama, comedy, mimesis and pantomime, Cultural Shows and poem recital programs, which were all free to participate and supported by strong team of volunteers of different ages and ethinic groups from Asian-origin.

Any performing art form is a far-reaching discipline providing a humanistic approach to today's societal problems and issues and reminds us the culture and heritage. Through mastery of skills and techniques, people in theater nurture imagination, seek inspiration and fluent, authentic, original storytelling that reflects the complexity of the human mind. Caravan is absolutely a Non-profit voluntary organization involved in providing funds for different community activities through Performing Art. Caravan produces challenging, artistically driven work without the encumbrance of financial success. Every individual can contribute to a performing art in one or the other way. We encourage and guide to explore and share the art inside any individual. Whatever we get from the community, we make sure every profit penny goes to the people, who need it most. We contribute the donation to various charities and community services. Each volunteer devotes his/her personal time in different community support services.

Last 4 years Caravan have been performing in Columbia county performing arts theater and Augusta State University Maxwell Theater and all the shows were supporting some cause donating all our profits. Caravan not only had performances limited to local area as they got a demand of previous shows in various other places like Louisville, KY and Columbia, SC.

In 2006 Caravan registered with the State of Georgia as a Non-Profit organization to strenghthen our welfare program through sharing the performing arts.

Caravan value creativity, fiscal responsibility, professionalism, positive audience experience, accessibility, healthy entertainment and community enrichment through sharing Performing Arts.
