Current Affairs - Important Days - Discussion

World Theatre Day is celebrated annually on March 27. This international observance was initiated by the International Theatre Institute (ITI) in 1961 to recognize the importance of theatre as an art form. The date marks the opening of the “Theatre of Nations” season in Paris, which highlighted the global significance of theatre. The day serves to promote theatre’s role in storytelling, cultural exchange, social transformation, and artistic expression, while also encouraging support from governments, institutions, and the public for the growth of the theatrical arts.
