New Delhi, March 21 At a time when social media and short-form videos are increasingly replacing traditional forms of entertainment, actor-singer Ila Arun says the participation of youth in theatre is a positive sign, even if it stems from a need to find job opportunities.
Arun, who is a jury member at the 21st Mahindra Excellence in Theatre Awards (META), said that more people are getting involved in theatre in villages and small cities.
"That's a good thing, because we need to preserve the idea that theatre is a medium of live performing art. And to protect this art, the more youth we involve, the better. Whatever institutions are doing, whatever different groups are doing, it's all good," Arun told
