Sanchari Theatre
Sanchari Theatre (Kannada: Uಸಂಚಾರಿ ಥಿಯೇಟರ್) is a cultural organization located in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. Sanchari Theatre is a drama troupe which is dedicated to the growth of drama. "Sanchari" is one of the Bhavas. Bhava or to emote is the 'becoming'. Sanchari Bhavas are those always crossing feelings which are ancillary to a permanent mood. Thus the name Sanchari Theatre is fabricated. Sanchari is the brainchild of acclaimed dramatists N. Mangala, Rangayana Raghu and Gajanana T Naik. Mangala and Rangayana Raghu were resident actors of Rangayana before starting Sanchari Theatre. Sanchari produced plays that included Kannada writers and Kannada translations of plays written by William Shakespeare and other foreign writers.
