Dramatic & Cultural Association • SRMCEM

A Legacy of Expression Since 2003

Established in 2003 at Shri Ramswaroop Memorial College of Engineering & Management (SRMCEM), DRACULA has provided a defining platform for students to explore the dramatic arts, discover their voice, and participate in authentic cultural expression.

Ethos & Identity

Creativity With Meaningful Storytelling

As the Dramatic and Cultural Association of SRMCEM, the society embraces diverse theatrical forms, including classical proscenium stage plays, monoacts, intense monologues, and high-energy नुक्कड़ नाटक (Street Theatre).

Our work combines raw creative vision with purposeful social commentary. Whether commanding an auditorium under focused proscenium lighting or gathering hundreds in an open campus courtyard circle through street theatre, we aim to create experiences that resonate deeply beyond the performance itself.

“We don't just tell stories. We make them come alive.”

Through stage plays, monoacts, नुक्कड़ नाटक, and cultural performances, we aim to inspire meaningful conversations, challenge perspectives, nurture talent, and create experiences that leave a lasting impact on audiences. Our vision is to make every voice heard, every story matter, and every performance unforgettable.

The Culture of DRACULA

DRACULA is a community of students brought together by their shared interest in theatre, storytelling, and creative expression.

From stage plays and monoacts to नुक्कड़ नाटक, members contribute their unique ideas, talents, and efforts to bring different stories to life. Behind every production lies a process of learning, collaboration, preparation, and teamwork.

For DRACULA, theatre is not limited to performing on stage. It is also about developing self-confidence, exploring new ideas, understanding different perspectives, and creating something meaningful together.

Different people. Different perspectives. One shared passion for theatre.
