Meet our Founder

When I arrived in Bangalore in 2015, I felt lost about continuing my passion for theatre. Having been active in Delhi and Dehradun's theatre scenes, I found myself navigating unfamiliar territory. Despite trying various avenues like Quora, Facebook, and Instagram, it took me several years to find a group to join. Even then, I didn't have the chance to perform for another two years. Determined to change this, I founded TheatreNama with a mission to ensure no passionate individual faces the struggle I did. Today, as a director, actor, and the group's founder, my joy stems not from fame, but from enabling others to pursue their passion for the stage. TheatreNama has facilitated 100+ actors in taking them to the stage within just two year, providing them with the opportunity to express themselves. My commitment remains unwavering: no passionate actor or artist should endure the challenges I faced in finding a platform in.

Priyanshu Mishra

Priyanshu Mishra embarked on his theatre journey nine years ago, motivated by a profound fascination for street plays. What particularly captivated him was the combination of powerful physicality and a resonant voice, as performances unfolded in public spaces, with no specific target audience. This experience bestowed upon him a profound sense of confidence to take the stage. During his college days, he served as the president of the drama society and assumed the role of a trainer in various forms, including nukkad natak, mime, and mad ads.

In July 2022, Priyanshu joined Theatrenama, an experience he describes as truly indescribable. His acting credits include popular plays such as "Refund," "Moteram ka satyagrah," and "Pocketmaar rangmandal." What's more, he ventured into the realm of writing and directing, creating Theatrenama's first original play titled "Chhapra ke deewaney." The stage has indeed been a transformative journey for him.
