Telugu theatre is Indian theatre in the Telugu language, based in the states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.[3] Gurajada Apparao wrote the play, Kanyasulkam in 1892, which is often considered the greatest play in the Telugu language.[4] C. Pullaiah is cited as the father of Telugu theatre movement.[5][6]
Vemuri Gaggaiah was an important member of the Mylavaram Bala Bharathi Nataka Samajam in Mylavaram, Krishna district during 1913–28. Through "Mylavaram Theatre", Gaggaiah became a household name for his mythological roles.[7] Tirupati Venkata Kavulu have dramatised several of the Hindu epics into dramas and plays consisting of singable verses set to perfect meter. Several of their plays, especially pandavodyogavijayalu have been widely known among many drama clubs and audiences across Andhra Pradesh.[8] The Nandi Natakotsavam Awards are awarded every year by the Government of Andhra Pradesh for achievements in Telugu theatre.[3][9][10]
