New Delhi: Each year on 27th March, World Theatre Day is observed globally to celebrate the art of theatre and recognise the immense contribution of those who bring stories to life on stage. Established in 1961 by the International Theatre Institute (ITI), the day aims to highlight theatre’s invaluable role in society, culture and education. From ancient storytelling to modern stage performances, theatre has remained a timeless and powerful form of expression.

This World Theatre Day, people across the globe are encouraged to honour this vibrant art form by sharing heartfelt wishes, inspiring quotes, creative posters and striking images. Whether it’s a small local production or a grand stage performance, theatre brings human emotions, dreams, and truths alive like no other medium. Let this day be a reminder to celebrate those who dedicate themselves to this craft, often unseen behind the curtain.
