Charandas Chor at 11 am
This play is about a lovable chor, Charandas, who takes 4 vows in jest. He vows never to eat off a golden plate, never to ride on an elephant at the head of a procession, never to marry a queen and never to accept the throne of a country. His guru asks him to give up lying as well along with his 4 vows, Charandas agrees to his wish. At the end Charandas becomes the region's greatest thief and prankster, all the while refusing to lie even when it means peril to his own life.

Sahyande Makan - The Elephant Project at 9.30 pm
This play is based on a Malayalam poem written by Vyloppilli Sreedhara Menon. The play talks about the conflicts between the external and internal realities as symbolised by an elephant. The story is set against a temple festival in Kerala where the largest tusker stands in the centre with an idol of the deity on his back. As the festivities progress, the elephant drifts into a nostalgic dream of his childhood and he becomes increasingly involved in the hallucination and dreams about those forgotten paths in the Sahyadri Valley (Western Mountains), his girl friend and playmates. However, the movements of the elephant gets externally translated into a rampage and finally, he is shot to death.
