Each week, Ben Hopkinson looks back at what’s happened the past 7 days and what was trending on Twitter with the Maritime Hashtag Minute.
This week’s #MaritimeHashtagMinute was #WorldThetareDay which was celebrated on Monday, and promotes all forms of theatre around the world and its value. This awareness has increased since the COVID lockdowns, as many cast and crew were technically jobless and had to source other income. View the Tweets below:
All the world's a stage… 🎭

It's #WorldTheatreDay! This one's for all the hard working DREAMERS across Theatreland who light up our stages with 1.21 gigawatts of electricity! ⚡ pic.twitter.com/RczhjnvQeV

Thinking about this boy and all that he was able to achieve on this #WorldTheatreDay. I want to tell him… “Just keep thinking those limitless thoughts and who knows how far you’ll go…” pic.twitter.com/YIQATJw1GI

Happy World Theatre day! This job still feels unreal at times. I love theatre. And I love that this challenges me to improvise daily. I love seeing how much I’ve grown as a performer and can’t wait to see what else I’m meant to do in life. #WorldTheatreDay @BryceDHoward pic.twitter.com/HK90vx8XO5

World Theatre Day. Please keep supporting this beautiful, dangerous, fragile, gutsy and life-changing art form. #WorldTheatreDay pic.twitter.com/bzFejMBXxJ

It is #worldtheatreday2023 and what can I say theatre has simultaneously saved and changed my life. 17 years in this business and it has taken me places I never thought a little girl from a North Carolina Hog farm would go. Olivier nominated and still flying high #WorldTheatreDay pic.twitter.com/EcOMJaG4o1
