It was the International Theatre Institute that started marking March 27 as World Theatre Day way back in 1961. Here's a peek into Twitter for tweets on World Theatre Day 2018

More than 5000 years ago...
India had already well defined the art of Theatre in Nav (9) Rasas :
Shringar - romantic
Hasya - humour
Karuna - empathy
Raudra - anger
Veer - heroic
Bhayanak - fearful
Vibhatsa - nasty
Adbhut - wonderful
Shant - peaceful#worldTheatreDay

As the lights dim, the audience settles and the curtain raises, months of preparation comes to fruition and a story comes to life. #WorldTheatreDay pic.twitter.com/cNM8ayKU1A

All the world’s a stage. And that of India dates back to at least 5000 years ago. Sometime b/w 2000 B.C & 4th century A.D. Bharat Muni wrote Natya Shastra i.e. the world’s first book on drama. Natya Shastra can be called the founding stones of fine arts in India. #WorldTheatreDay pic.twitter.com/lUPd04xOBd

As we celebrate #Worldtheatreday today let us bring back the focus on the Craft of Creating a Play,Creating & Preparing a Role.A Tedious and a Tiresome Process that involves months and years of toil but the practitioners don't recieve as much empowerment as the Cinema Bretherens!
