The National Theater of Korea's "Picknic" program, held at Myeongdong Theater, highlights lesser-known theatrical works from talented creators, achieving near-total sellouts due to word-of-mouth. Notable performances include 'Yuwon,' a youth play based on Baek Ohn-you's novel, 'The Blue Bird,' an actor-driven fantasy, and 'The Fall,' a solo act inspired by Albert Camus. Initiated by Artistic Director Park Jeong-hee, the project supports selected plays without commercial potential and provides a platform for national representation. The series has significantly boosted audience attendance, showcasing Korea's theatrical strengths to a broader audience.
