In a statement to “Sharjah 24,” Al Jasmi affirmed that His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi is the true pioneer of the theatrical renaissance, both locally and in the Arab world, and the genuine patron of theatre. For this reason, the association designated this day as a celebration of theatre and its people.
Al Jasmi pointed out that Emirati theatrical productions today compete at both regional and international levels. He noted that one of the most outstanding performances in recent years came from the Sharjah National Theatre troupe, which earned acclaim as a top-tier, fully integrated production.
He also mentioned that the Theatrical Association recently honoured a distinguished group of pioneers in the Emirati theatre movement. Among them were Dr Suleiman Al Jassim, Dr Ali Fares, and Obeid Ali, in recognition of their long-standing contributions to the cultural and artistic scene.
