This edited collection explores the transformative impact of theatre on personal and societal well-being in contemporary digitalized societies. In this compelling work, the editors and chapter authors examine how theatrical arts—whether through performance, participation, or observation—can enhance individual quality of life, foster emotional resilience, and promote social cohesion. Drawing from various interdisciplinary sources, this volume delves into the therapeutic potential of theatre, its role in community building, and its contribution to emotional and mental health. It invites readers to view the power of theatre not only as entertainment but as a catalyst for positive change in individuals and communities alike. Designed for scholars, practitioners, and enthusiasts of theatre, psychology, and sociology, this volume is particularly relevant for those in therapeutic fields, educators, and artists keen to understand deeper connections between the performing arts and human flourishing.
