Marathi Theatre

Theatre is a place devotees to perform incest either solo or collective of performing arts. Participation of the artist, as well as the audience, is essential for his successful performance.

The theatre comprises several factors such as script, director, artist, make-up, costume, stage, art-design, lighting arrangement, audience and critics. However mime can also be used as the medium of expression.

The popular plays written by Acharya Atre like Sashtang Namaskar, Udyacha Sansar, Gharabaher etc. helped the Marathi theatre to sustain through a temporary decline. The marathi stage continued to get enriched because of its varied subjects and types of the plays.

The early Marathi plays were staged on open grounds. The British first built closed theatres like Play House, Rippon and Victoria in Mumbai. Thereafter, the shows of Marathi plays gradually took to closed theatres.
