"Create Theater" is a multifaceted initiative launched by the Ministry of Culture and Youth to provide financial and logistical support to qualified theater associations and troupes, who are considered to be the main drivers of this sub-sector and the main contributors to the industry’s momentum and growth.

This initiative has two central streams, Grants and Facilities. It aims to support theater talent and troupes in producing quality content, maximizing their public reach and enabling them through logistical support. Being one of the pillars of the culture sector, Theater plays a pivotal role in highlighting the issues prevailing in society, telling stories that are an integral part of the UAE's contemporary life and history while also creating awareness about values and essential life lessons.
