A street play is known for its catchy dialogues, attractive slogans and powerful dramatic elements like tragedy, humor, mimicry etc. The youths mainly come forward to play this genre. The primary goal of a street play is taking a social message to a large group of people. This helps to create a sense of awareness in the society in which we live. Every street play has a specific public social theme and the actor who performs should posses the skill to exhibit and portrays the theme well. The dialogues are colloquial and should be rendered monotonously with a clear and loud voice. This kind of recitation in high pitch will leave a huge impact in the minds of people.

Generally the duration of the street play is very less. It is not an easy task for any actors to perform in an extensive group. Most of the time, the actors are uniformly dressed in order to bring the uniformity in behavior, mindset and outlook of the people. Lack of proper theatre settings is an added advantage to get connected with people in real life. This effective technique will compel the spectators to stereotype with the character played.
