A theater troupe based in Maryland (MD), USA, Hattimatim-Team is committed to bringing quality productions to the DMV (Washington DC., Virginia, Maryland) area.
We perform plays, primarily original new works written by new and emerging writers, in both English and Bengali. We develop these plays from scratch, and our performers are also new or emerging artists, usually from the community. We are not confined by any genre, theme, or subject matter.
We also travel all over the USA to participate in different theatre festivals, and we have been fortunate enough to perform on both the West and East Coasts (including in several off-off Broadway short play festivals).
Our Mission
To entertain you! Everything we do is towards achieving this goal!
We develop new, unpublished work by new and emerging playwrights. These plays range from short (10-15 minutes) to full-length (~2 hours). Abhisek’s short plays, “Fragrant Vengeance” and “Empty Night,” were first performed by Hattimatim-Team.
Provide opportunities to new and emerging artists from the community. Our play development process, workshops, and rehearsals are often rigorous and demanding, but also fun. Most of the actors who work with us had no formal training in acting, and some of them have never performed on stage.
Our creative teams combine elements from several genres of acoustic and visual arts to generate the final stage production. We act, we dance, we sing, and the whole is always more than the sum of its parts.
We are always open to collaboration and on the lookout for people passionate about theatre and stage performance. Come join us if you want to sing, dance, act, or play musical instruments, or work backstage on makeup, set, lights, or poster and sound design.
