With every spotlight that turns on and every curtain that rises, a new world is born. Theatre is more than performance—it is a mirror of truth, a voice of society, and a home for stories that must be heard.

Here, every movement has meaning,
every word carries weight,
and every character brings a message. ✨

Through theatre, we learn to empathize, understand, and act—because theatre is not just watched, it is felt.

This World Theatre Day, let us celebrate the art that keeps culture alive and reminds us that each of us has a role to play in the greater story of the world. 🌍🎭

જ⁀➴⋆.˚ On March 3, 2026, Dulaang Rizaliano was invited to perform an intermission stage play during the Civic Awareness Program held at the Old Auditorium. ⋆˚࿔

In line with the theme “𝙰𝚕𝚊𝚖 𝙼𝚘 𝙱𝚊? 𝙰𝙸 𝚊𝚝 𝙺𝚊𝚋𝚊𝚝𝚊𝚊𝚗: 𝚄𝚜𝚊𝚙𝚊𝚗𝚐 𝙳𝚊𝚙𝚊𝚝 𝙿𝚊𝚐𝚝𝚞𝚞𝚗𝚊𝚗,” we presented a story that reflects on how today’s youth interact with technology—and what happens when people begin to rely on it a little too much. 📱

A short performance, but a powerful reminder that while technology can assist us, our ability to think, feel, and connect will always remain human. 🎭 ִ ࣪𖤐.ᐟ

DYK? Tchaikovsky’s 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗿 isn’t just a holiday favorite. For a lot of ballet companies, it’s the show that keeps them afloat. Ticket sales from Christmas performances can cover half or more of a company’s annual income, which pays for dancers, actors, productions, and programs all year long. Without it, some companies literally couldn’t survive.

DYK? 𝗙𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘀𝗻𝗼𝘄 made from 𝗮𝘀𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝘀 was widely sold for Christmas decor in the early 1900s and used for winter effects in films and theater because it looked realistic under lights. ❄️

Many sources say that asbestos was used to create snow effects on the set of the film 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑾𝒊𝒛𝒂𝒓𝒅 𝒐𝒇 𝑶𝒛 (1939). Unfortunately, asbestos is now known to be dangerous, causing serious lung and breathing problems. At the time, actors and crew weren’t warned, so many were exposed to it while working on set.

Now you know! ☝️
