Terming theatre as an important tool of shaping the society, he stressed on the need of its promotion in the larger interest of raising the conscious level of the civil society.
Continuing further Balwant Thakur said that World Theatre Day is a celebration for those who can see the value and importance of this great art from “Theatre” and act as a wakeup call for governments, politicians, and institutions which have not yet recognized its value to the people and to the individual and have yet not realized it’s potential for overall socioeconomic cultural development.
Referring to his own city, Jammu in particular, Balwant Thakur said that people out there need to take pride in the fact that it is theatre which gave that region a new cultural, linguistic and intellectual identity.
