World Theatre Day is celebrated annually on March 27 to promote the importance of theatre in culture and society. Established in 1961 by the International Theatre Institute, this day encourages people to appreciate the art of theatre and its ability to foster creativity, dialogue, and understanding among diverse communities. The celebration includes various events such as performances, workshops, and discussions held worldwide. Each year, a prominent theatre artist is invited to write a message highlighting the significance of theatre, which is then translated into multiple languages to reach a global audience.
