World Theatre Day will be celebrated globally Mar 27, with special plays, workshops, and seminars being organized. World Theatre Day is observed every year on March 27th, aiming to highlight the importance of theatre and appreciate the contributions of artists who keep this art form alive.

This day began in 1961 under the auspices of the International Theatre Institute (ITI), and since then, global events have been held annually to mark the occasion.

In various countries, renowned artists, directors, actors, and others associated with theatre organize special plays, workshops, and seminars to celebrate this day. An international message is also released on this occasion, penned by a notable theatre personality.

Pakistan also boasts a rich history of theatre, where both classical and modern plays have been used to highlight societal issues. Theatre not only provides entertainment but also plays a significant role in raising awareness and preserving cultural heritage.

However, in the modern era, theatre has not received the same recognition as in the past due to the rise of television, film, and digital media. Nonetheless, many artists and organizations continue to work towards keeping this field alive.

The primary purpose of World Theatre Day is to emphasize the power of theatre and convey a message of peace, harmony, and social reform through it. On this occasion, theatre groups worldwide present their best works to make people aware of the significance of this unique and ancient art.

This day provides an opportunity for individuals involved with theatre globally to showcase their creative talents and communicate the importance of this age-old art to the general public.
