VODO consists of a bunch of professionals and students, all with one common passion : theater. Having been in existence since mid 2003, the group has so far put up about 15 hugely successful shows of 4 stage plays, both in and out of Bangalore, in this process entertaining more than about 3500 members of the audience.

One of the significant achievements of VODO has been winning, among a fray of 6 talented groups, the Young Directors Theater Festival conducted at Rangashankara in Septemeber 2005 by Art Mantram and Bangalore Bias.

Thespians, let me say that I really enjoyed your play - 'Chimeras' at Alliance. I teach theatre in a school and found the production quite gripping. hope to see lots of good theatre in English where I can take my students to witness your shows.
All the best
