Distinguished from the folk dances are the theatre forms of Andhra
Pradesh, which are forms of socio-drama. They enthrall both the audience and the
performers equally. This is because Andhra Pradesh is blessed with abundance of the inborn
talent, expertise and the artistic bent of the mind.
"You know it when you see it and you
learn it when you do it" is as the saying goes. Owing to this, many a socio-drama is
even staged for mass communications purposes. From all this have emerged a living
tradition of full-fledged theatre forms.
