The digital revolution has become an inevitable reality that we live in, casting its shadow over various aspects of life.

However, with the technological development in this context, theater professionals, directors and actors seek to establish effective relationships with the Internet and digital media, which has led to the emergence of many websites interested in theater. From here, the importance of linking culture, digital theater theory and the effectiveness of media emerged to establish a new theatrical thought that is launched within an intellectual, aesthetic and scientific system oriented towards the recipient. On this basis, the researcher formulated the title of his research (The Effectiveness of Media in Iraqi Theater Performances, The Play "Al-Bayadiq" as a Model)?
