Domestic Troupes

The mid eighties had witnessed the formation of domestic troupe under the supervision of the Ministry of Heritage and Culture. Those troupes played an important role in enriching the theatrical movement in the sultanate. In its efforts to support the trend, the ministry constructed two well-equipped theatres in Muscat and Salalah. This effort was accompanied by the issuance of regulatory measures aimed at defining the goals and objectives. The Ministry’s attention was also directed to regional participation in festivals and gatherings with the objective of attaining experience.
Participations included:

• The GCC theatrical festival for domestic troupes

• Cairo international impirical theatre festival

Local participations:

• Domestic troupes festival (Juma’a Al-Khasibi Tournament)

• Domestic troupes contest (Cultural Week)

• The first Omani theatre festival
