Since the 1970s, many drama clubs and large-scale performing arts groups have been established, indicating the further growth of local performing arts culture. As some theatre troupes gradually developed and local screenwriting talents joined in, creative drama became more prosperous and received more attention in the 1980s and 1990s.
