The Ministry of Culture and Sports, represented by the Center for Theater Affairs, will organise a special celebration at Qatar National Theater on Monday to mark the World Theatre Day (WTD).
The event will bring together a number of institutions at the ministry, including the centres of musical arts, visual arts and Nomas, among others.
The highlight of the programme, which includes various artistic and cultural performances, is a play titled 'The Wood Told Me', directed by Jassim al Ansari and performed by a selection of actors.
This year, the ministry is also joining the global celebrations of WTD, as part of its ongoing efforts aimed at strengthening the value of the theatre and raising awareness about its educational role in the community. The ministry has been celebrating the event since 1981.
Since 1962, World Theatre Day, set by the International Theatre Institute (ITI), has been celebrated by theatre professionals, theatre organisations, theatre universities and theatre lovers all over the world on March 27.
