In Guyana, theatre has been one of the few means by which ethnic groups have had access to images of the lives of ethnic others or to their concerns. Historically, the study covers the performing arts, some of them related to their religions, which the six peoples brought with them, along with the beginnings of European theatre in nineteenth century Georgetown, the emergence of theatre organised by the new African and Indian Guyanese middle classes in the early twentieth century, to the explosion of an ethnically diverse and socially committed theatre in the 1950s, the period leading up to independence.
