delineating Various Social injustices through histrionics on the
stages UTSA aims at developing a series of theatre units that
serve specific social issues. Thus UTSA tries sincerely to create
social awareness in the minds of people because the ultimately
goal of UTSA is to up the movement for a society free from
inequalities. Theatrical performances of UTSA are not
conventionally one sided ones because not only the trained
performers but the audiences do take parts in the plays as well
UTSA has already established as many as 23 such type of theatre
units. Some of the important ones are theatre units for various
issues, such as Psychodrama. Theatre therapy, rehabilitation of
the drug addicted, prisoners, prostitutes, working children,
working women and many such others. Theatre is one of the
dominant mediums of artistic expressions. It is as old as human
civilization. It is not limited to entertaining the audience;
rather it is a powerful medium of molding public opinion. Even as
a medium of instruction it has gained popularly. Now a days it is
modern use has been found in the medical sciences. Theatre
coupled with medical treatment has formed a new esthetical media
come medical phenomenon called theatre therapy. Theatre therapy
deals with mentally retarded and physically handicapped patients.
This theatre therapy has so many branches, which implement
different cases of various types of disables. Psycho-drama for
mentally retarded patients, Verbal-Drama for deaf and dumb,
physically handicapped ones. American psychologist Jacobs L.
Monoro (1889-1974) was the first theoretician and practitioner
that introduced Psycho-therapy like theatre. The very method he
employed was studying particular cases of patients. This theatre
focuses the mantle and physical behavior of individual and society
as well and this tries to help remedy the sickness of the
concerned individual and society. Italian psychotherapist Dr.
