PACA — the Performing Arts Community of Atlanta — presented its “Stage to Community” showcase on December 20, 2025, at Global Mall, Atlanta. The six‑month‑old group, founded by Ritambhara Mittal and dream shared by Jairaj Kamal and Praful Kumar Panchal. These are 3 musketeers who envision to support community artists for finding balance between creative passion with professional commitments.
A major highlight of the evening was PACA’s handmade theater concept, with every element designed and created by the artists themselves. The show opened with two standout pieces: a painting representing PACA Theater by artist Geeta Buttan, unveiled as the inaugural artwork, and a mechanically engineered curtain crafted by theater artist and engineer Sachin Bapat.
Performances were designed and directed by Ritambhara Mittal, using a miniature‑theater model that emphasized disciplined time management and efficient collaboration. The acts were developed through a balanced mix of online and in‑person rehearsals.
The three‑hour event featured mime, chorus, voice modulation, sci‑fi interpretations, comedy, emotional personification, socially themed plays, and a warmly received Kid’s Play. A full audience applauded the creativity and commitment of PACA’s diverse team of working professionals. Community leaders attended in person, with additional blessings from national and international artists.
As noted by Atlanta’s cinema figure Sanjay Arora, it was “an inspirational evening by PACA Theater, Atlanta.”
Looking ahead, PACA Theater plans to expand youth theater training, promote global theater literature, work for social causes like autism, women health awareness, strengthen artist networks, and collaborate with the National School of Drama for the 2026 silver jubilee celebration of the Bharangam Theater Festival in Atlanta.
