RIYADH — There are a total of 262 theaters and galleries for theatrical performances in the Kingdom, according to a report on the cultural situation in Saudi Arabia. The capital city of Riyadh comes first with the highest number of 52 theatres and galleries.

The report showed that the theater and performing arts sector witnessed a remarkable diversity in the supply due to organizational developments, and the multiplicity of actors and private theater groups, which held more than 46 local theatrical performances in addition to imported shows, as well as the visual arts sector that returned to private art galleries at an average double rate of performances with the staging of 275 shows.
The total artistic participation accounted for 121 exhibitions, with an average of seven exhibitions in one hall and more than 1033 participants, equally between male and female artists. The theatrical publishing witnessed a relative recovery with 14 books that include theatrical works and historical or documentary works.

The report confirmed that the two branches of SASCA in Al-Ahsa and Dammam continued to lead a theatrical activity at the level of local performances, produced and evaluated by theatrical troupes affiliated with SASCA, with 11 theatrical performances.
