Mar 28 2017 #WorldTheatreDay Special – 10 Instagram Accounts Theatre Buffs Should Follow
As Brazilian writer-director and politician Augusto Boal once said, “we must all do theatre to find out who we are, and to discover who we could become.” Those of you who have attended plays regularly must have marveled many times at the magic of art being created in front of your very eyes in real-time. In honor of World Theatre Day 2017, we at Kiss Doodles thought we’d add some drama (pun intended) by spotlighting ten Instagram accounts every theatre buff should follow.
Cirque Du Soleil
One of the largest theatrical producers in the world, Cirque du Soleil shows have left audiences stunned. If you have a friend who has visited Las Vegas, chances are they have probably told you many stories of the superior quality of Cirque productions. Keep up with insider information such as video clips, photos and more behind-the-scenes dope on their Instagram page!
Broadway
Pretty much every theatre artist has a dream to perform on Broadway – the musicals that have opened at Broadway have always been top-notch. Follow Broadway on Instagram for some nostalgic throwback images, behind-the-scenes pics and inspiration.

Playbill
If you love attending plays, the joy of holding a playbill is something which can’t be put into words – that’s why a good thing we have pictures to express what mere words cannot! Follow Playbill on Instagram to satisfy the theatre nerd in you.
Theatre Kid Confessions
More and more children are getting involved in theatre at a young age, especially in school productions. Theatre Kid Confessions is an adorable niche Instagram account which spotlights the fears and confessions of little ones on stage – but, don’t be mistaken, their following isn’t little, it is growing day-by-day.

This is an interesting account to follow if you happen to be a theatre professional.
