Surinder Singh Dhanoa
Founder of Punjab Lok Rang
Punjab Lok Rang, a theater group based in
Bay Area CA, was founded by Surinder Singh
Dhanoa in 2006 to preserve and propagate
the opulent Punjabi culture, heritage and
traditions in this part of California. Since
its nascency the group has been
successfully presenting a kaleidoscope of
plays hinged on thought provoking socially
relevant themes, culture of Punjab, and Sikh
religion that have endeavored to raised
awareness and catalyze discussions.
Surinder Singh Dhanoa has been tirelessly stoking his passion for Punjabi culture first
through Bay Area Punjab Culture Society and then Punjab Lok Rang. Supported by Punjab Lok
organizer, Sonu Rana, and their core crew team he has been successfully presenting his
creative enterprises to audiences in India and USA.
“We feel honored that Guru Nanak Khalsa School and Gurudwara San Jose gave Punjab Lok
Rang an opportunity to teach our next generation what theater is and show kids how a play
can be used as a catalyst to express and bring awareness to the audiences about Punjabi
culture. We also thank Dr. Gurinder Pal Singh for initiating this and Jyoti Rana for tirelessly
working with the kids and us to make this event a success.” says Surinder S. Dhanoa.
