Founded in 2015 and designed to occur biyearly, Sharjah GCC Theatre Festival is a contest where theatre groups from the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) compete to win several awards for directing, acting and other forms of theatrical display. 
This new festival launched and sponsored by Sharjah, in appreciation of the theatrical efforts in the GCC. His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, has given this festival great support and patronage to consolidate the relationships between the GCC theatre groups and to improve GCC theatre in all forms. Sharjah GCC Theatre Festival also invites Arabic actors, directors and playwrights to various shows, seminars and workshops.
