    İzmir Amateur Levantine Theatre
    (Bilkent University, 2020) Seddik, Haritha; Butt, Eeman; Wali, El Mona; Abuova, Nagima; Kalassina, Loulwa
    Mr. Ugo Braggiotti along with his sister Linda Tito founded what is known today as the 'Izmir Amateur Levantine Theatre' (IALT) back in 2008. By utilizing the little but rich literature surrounding the theatre, this paper will study the different periods of the theatre's life, the history of the people behind the theatre, and how the preservation of the Levantine culture was upheld through customs specific to Levantines in the region. The aim of increasing the theatre's influence and following their predecessor's steps, as we will see, has allowed for the preservation of Levantian culture through the acts and charity work which is what the Braggiottis initially aimed for upon the theatre's establishment.
