This day is a way to celebrate for those who recognise the significance and value of the art form "theatre".

Theatre has the power to transport us to different worlds, challenge our perspectives, and generate a wide range of emotions. rom ancient Greek tragedies to modern-day musicals.

Beyond entertainment, theatre plays an important role in our society. It promotes empathy, understanding, and social change by serving as a platform for cultural exchange. Theatre also creates job opportunities for actors, directors, designers, technicians and contributes to the economy through ticket sales and tourism.

As we continue to navigate the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, the theatre industry has faced unprecedented hurdles. Many theatres have had to close their doors, while others have adapted by streaming performances online or implementing social distancing measures. Despite these obstacles, theatre artists and enthusiasts remain resilient and committed to keeping the magic of live performance alive.
