About the program

All the world is a stage. Recently, it seems that instead of learning to avoid what theatre exposes, such as aggression and slandering others, the show becomes reality. The stage helps us to examine such attempts, not to copy them. Theatre is meant to preserve universal values. What we find on the stage is a manual for the betterment of humanity with hope that change is possible. When you are on the stage, the character is not you. Instead, you are merely the messenger. Do not be afraid to use the stage to demonstrate all aspects of humanity. This is how we inspire others to imagine a kinder, better, and more just future for all. This can be your mission. Now, step into it.
