A day of decisions... Silence ..

Few of us responsible for fun at VODO, met up at cubbon park to review certain activities of this year. The first things was ofcourse to plan a line up of plays this year. So whats on the cards ? More readings, more rehearsals, More plays ... More FUN!

We are repeating one of our most successful shows, Vijay Tendulkar's, Silence the court is in Session. The when and where will be posted in a few days. We are going to have auditions, as soon as we draw up a production plan.

We first performed this show to a packed audience in April 2008 at Alliance Francaise and got a phenomenal response, most of whom had watched, read the play in different languages. This infact gave us enough reasons to repeat it, We were supposed to repeat this play on July 25th 2008, but this happened. We had to postpone the show by a week and we were very thankful to the audience who came out in large numbers to support us.

We have completed four shows of this play and we plan to reach double figures this year. A slideshow of our previous productions.

Reading that was...

We Had a blast reading Jake's Women, ended up being attended by quite a good number of Vodo'ites. The play was a typical Neil Simon Play, with its wit, sarcastic sense of humor, The play is about the protagonist writer -Jake, his many failed relationships, the baggage he carries from them and his dependence on each of those relationship.

More information on Jake's Women here -


What started off as a warm, sunny afternoon morphed into a cool, breezy typical Bangalore evening by the time we finished.

On another note,We might be moving the reading venue to a different, to a slightly more south Bangalore location. More on that in a few days.

We might also be having auditions for "Silence the Court is in Session" , soon. Will def keep this space posted.

Few photographs from our earlier shows of Silence, till then :-)

Clearing the dust,

Its been a while since there has been any activity on the blog, but it doesn't mean that nothings cooking at VODO.There are lots of master plans being brewed and soon you will see us more often and more ways than one.

Be ready to laugh, cry, dance and get crazy with us in 2009, it sure is going to be the start of a brand new Version one dot oh ... lets just say .. version 2 of VODO :-)

As a start, we are reading new plays every alternate Sunday, the place and time are fixed, its at Cubbon Park, on the steps in front of the Kings statue. An easier way to get here is to get into Cubbon park from the Minsk square ( The circle having the fighter plane :-)) side and park your vehicles. In case you are interested, feel free to drop in.

We are working on a few productions and also planning to repeat our past productions, lets just say, this year is going to be bigger, better and crazier :-)
