Rafi Peer Theatre Workshop in collaboration with International co-productions - mostly with European companies, and has brought over 30 countries at a time to Pakistan and exposed our audiences to a wealth of different cultural experiences. It is the only organization in Pakistan that has done extensive work for the development of theater with its focus on youth and children.
The productions of the Rafi Peer Theater Workshop are not geared to make profit. However many major sponsors come forward to support the activities of the Workshop for the noble cause undertaken by the organization.
