The passionate individuals who bring stories to life and drive Chennai's creative revolution.
Meet Our Initiator
Simon Roy DS
I am the Initiator and Creative Director of Nadigan Daa, a theatre collective I established in 2021 with a vision to build a powerful and sustainable creative ecosystem.
What started as a three-member team has grown under my leadership into a thriving creative community of over 115+ members.
Through Nadigan Daa, I have trained performers across schools, colleges, and corporate environments, focusing on acting, storytelling, stagecraft, and performance psychology.
My goal is to create meaningful stories, nurture original talent, and build a strong cultural movement driven by disciplined artistic excellence.
Our Co-Initiator
Prabakaran
A Chennai-based actor and theatre artist with a foundation built on the high-energy stages of inter-collegiate culturals and refined through diverse screen projects.
From the raw emotion of independent short films to the rhythmic storytelling of album songs, he brings a disciplined yet adaptive presence to every frame.
As a co-initiator of Nadigan Daa, he doesn't just play a role — he helps build the vision, contributing to the ensemble's success both on stage and behind the scenes.
Our Core Members
Suchitra K
A passionate and dedicated theatre artist at Nadigan Daa with a strong foundation in stage acting, she actively contributes to both the creative and administrative aspects of the team.
She manages monthly contributions, maintains transparent financial records, and handles ticketing and financial coordination for Nadigan Daa productions.
She holds a Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com) degree and currently works as an Assistant Manager at EY GDS.
Alongside her professional career, she continues to contribute to theatre through acting, writing, directing, and organizational responsibilities.
Charles
Charles is a theatre artist with over 50 prizes to his name — from shipwreck to mimicry, a resume that reads more like a festival schedule.
He was crowned Mr. Shristi at Ethiraj and was recognised as Emerging Talent of 2019 from Loyola College.
While academics kept him disciplined, theatre kept him relevant — and that balance took him to ICICI Bank as a Credit Manager, where communication mattered as much as calculation.
Currently, Charles serves as one of the core members of Nadigan Daa, actively using theatre for social engagement through performances at old age homes, orphanages, and colleges.
Alongside this, he continues writing original scripts and developing his voice as a director, including his work as writer and actor of the acclaimed play 'Genie yum Naanum'.
