Admit One is the annual inter-collegiate theatre festival hosted by the Cultural and Fine Arts Committee of the National Law School of India University.
Currently in its 7th edition, Admit One was started in 2006 with the aim of providing a platform to bring theatre enthusiasts, college teams and amateur theatre groups together on an international stage. Since then the event has grown by leaps and bounds, with participation of over 25 teams, from across India and the subcontinent. Previous editions of the fest have been supported by Bangalore’s active theatre community, with personalities such as Arundhati Nag, Mallika Sarabhai, Chippy Gangjee, and Leila Alvares having graced the event as chief guests on numerous occasions.
