Just found this documentary about the KLT on their website. It’s really well made and interesting to watch (they’ve been around since 1948!). The documentary is divided into two parts, the first one is above and the second part if below. This is the description posted with the videos:
“From its humble beginnings as the KUOCO Independent Players in 1948 to its present day position as the leading amateur theater company in the region, Kuwait Little Theater (KLT) has undergone quite a transformation. Through archive footage, photos, interviews, and video clips dating back to the early days of The KLT, this documentary offers a fascinating stroll down memory lane of the busiest and best little theatre in Kuwait.
Join us on a journey back to times when sets were painted out in the 40 degree summer sun, theatrical lighting consisted of car headlamps, and staging a live performance in Kuwait meant closing down the local cinema for a night. Then, stroll through six decades of development as the Little Theatre is born and raised by a band of enthusiastic volunteers.
‘KLT – Celebrating 60 Years’ takes you on a journey, not only of the development of amateur theatre in Kuwait but also of the country at large as its members battle the climate, the culture and the aftermath of war to bring live entertainment to the stage year after year.”

I attended a couple of their plays when i was in Kuwait. They are actually very good for an amateur playhouse. Their stage is small but the acting is superb.
it looks like soo much fun, i would like to attend
How did u hear about KLT?
my god, they make it sound as if this is the only thing keeping them sane in kuwait.
Omg it’s really nice to see that I’m in some of those videos.. I have participated in 10 plays since 2003.. KLT is an amazing experience and I’ll always look forward to hopefully having more. If you love theater arts KLT is the place to be 🙂
