What started off in 1894 as a Student Social Club, slowly evolved into a cultural centre as educated actors and theatre enthusiasts continued signing up. It was in 1904 that a revolution was truly created, with prominent members of the society joining this drama club. It was in 1935 that it was transformed into an open air theatre and has since then been one of the best theatres in the country. In fact, it hosts some of the most important drama competitions in the country, Purushottam Karandak one-act-play competition, Firodiya Karandak, Maharashtra Govt's State drama competitions being some of them. They even have a drama training school.
