Proscenium Theatre:
Sarwanam has been continuously doing proscenium theatre since its establishment. Its versatility lies in performing the same play inside theatre halls and on streets. Along with the capital city, Kathmandu, Sarwanam has traveled far and wide, inside and outside Nepal to present their plays. It has also performed popular proscenium plays in countries like India, Bangladesh and Hong Kong.

Street Theatre:
Sarwanam initiated street theatre in Nepal by performing two plays, "Hami Basanta Khojiraachau" (We are searching for the spring) and "Samapta Asamapta" (End unend) in A.D 1982. By breaking the strong conservative myth that theatre could not be performed without a stage, lights, curtains, props and all such technical equipments, Sarwanam marveled everyone by showcasing a heart touching play beneath the colossal sky. The play was performed in Tribhuwanm University, Kathmandu and was directed by Sarwanam's founder and director Ashesh Malla.

For a developing country like Nepal, proscenium theatre is an expensive art. Most of the districts lack well equipped halls. Street theatre has popularized theatre culture as it can be performed anywhere. It is due to street theatre that today plays are constantly being performed even in the most rural parts of Nepal. This medium has also proved very effective to create awareness about various necessary things of life.

Theatre Workshop:
SARWANAM has organized street drama workshop in Nepal and abroad. In Nepal it has carried out street theatre workshop in 42 districts of Nepal. Similarly, it has organized a theatre workshop on street theatre for school children in Norway.
