Public theatre

Public theatre is a type of performing arts organization that operates as a nonprofit entity, dedicated to producing and presenting theatrical productions for the community. It often focuses on artistic quality, cultural value, and accessibility rather than profit. Public theatres may include on-stage drama, new works, experimental performances, and educational outreach, serving as platforms for artistic expression, community engagement, and cultural enrichment. Funded through government support, grants, and donations, they strive to make theatre accessible to diverse audiences and often prioritize innovative or socially relevant content.
