Dramanon (short for Dramatist Anonymous) is an English language theatre group that operates out of three cities in India: Manipal, Bangalore and Hyderabad. The three chapters of Dramanon are well integrated and enjoy a strong collaborative bond apart from a common origin. Till date, Dramanon has staged 30 productions & 150+ shows across the country. Established in 1991 by Dr. Sripathi Rao, currently the Dean of Kasturba Medical College, Manipal, Dramanon was founded to address the need for a common platform where the diverse student body of Manipal meets to commune, express and share. Through varied pursuits - play reading, acting workshops, script writing workshops and performances, Dramanon grew organically into its founding vision - an informal, unofficial theatre group that brought the students and faculty members of MAHE (Manipal Academy of Higher Education, now known as Manipal University), together in a creative endeavor. Re-energized in 2000 by R.K. Shenoy, Professor of Architecture currently working for antz as Design director, from Manipal Institute of Technology (MIT), Dramanon Manipal grew in number and strength from there on into a vibrant, young theatre group that stages two productions every year to packed houses. With every passing year, it has been steadily grooming actors, directors, stage managers and designers. In 2006, the student alumni of Dramanon, Manipal, helped Dramanon spread its wings by establishing chapters in Bangalore and Hyderabad. Dramanon Bangalore is now run by full-time professional theater artistes. Some past productions staged by Dramanon Bangalore are – ''The Original Last Wish Baby, Pizzazz , Alarms and Excursions, Sic , Elling, This, Once, on that street & Pagdi''. Dramanon regularly stages its plays at Bangalore’s premier theatre venues – Ranga Shankara & Jagriti, and have also been part of Short +Sweet International Theatre Festival, ’11 & ’12, Writer’s Bloc Festival ’12 at Prithvi & NCPA, Mumbai, Ranga Shankara Shakespeare Theatre Festival,’12 & most recently the Jagriti New Writing Festival,'14. Dramanon Bangalore is also involved in leveraging theatre tools and techniques to drive employee engagement initiatives in companies and have also co-produced popular audiobooks such as Amish’s “Secret of the Nagas” & Devdutt Pattanaik’s “Jaya”. Dramanon Hyderabad has found a unique voice in Hyderabad’s English theatre circles. Collaborating with other prominent English theatre groups, It has played a pivotal role in creating an audience for English theatre in Hyderabad. Some of their recent plays include ''Fools, The Good Doctor, Doubles and Pizzazz,6 & Can't Pay, Won't Pay''. ''6'' is Dramanon's first original play and it comprises six short stories. Dramanon also performed in the prestigious Samahaara Hyderabad Theatre Festival 2009 and Samahaara Hyderabad Theatre and Short Film Festival 2010 with the plays Neil Simon's The Good Doctor and Dario Fo's Can't Pay, Won't Pay respectively.
