• B. March $27$
• C. March $28$
• D. March $29$

Answer 1

The correct option is B March $27$

The World Theatre Day (WTD) was initiated in $1961$ by the International Theatre Institute (ITI). The first World Theatre Day Message was written by Jean Cocteau in $1962$. Ever since, it is celebrated all over the world on $27$th March to draw attention to the power of the stage. The day is a celebration for those who can see the value and importance of the art form theatre, and acts as a wake-up-call for governments, politicians and institutions which have not yet recognised its value to the people and to the individual and have not yet realised its potential for economic growth.
