The main creative team will recommend the highlights of the new play on the spot: the stage play "Wave" will be presented again next year, and after three rounds of continuous revision and polishing this year, it will return with a more perfect attitude; the drama of the same name adapted from the major revolutionary historical theme TV series "The Age of Awakening" will premiere at the Shanghai Dramatic Arts Center next year.
Starting from the launch of the suspense drama "The Abyss" in 2020, the original suspense drama has won the love of the audience, and the second suspense drama "Labyrinth of Hearts" of the "Abyss Theater" will debut next year to tell the brain-burning story behind a murder. The movie of the same name in "Labyrinth of Hearts" has a douban score of 8.7. The stage version of "Labyrinth of Hearts" will launch a "villager witness position", leading the audience to break through the boundaries of the stage and experience a new perspective of watching the play.

In the musical theater section, Shangjiao will launch a musical for the first time, and the Chinese version of the Broadway classic love musical "I Love You..." will be performed in the Shangjiao Small Theater.
In 2020, due to the impact of the epidemic, the 24th Zuolin Drama Art Award Ceremony originally scheduled to be held that year did not arrive as scheduled, but the Shanghai Dramatic Arts Center held a six-day online "Zuolin Week" through the online platform, and for the first time disclosed the precious scenes in front of and behind the stage of the previous Zuolin Drama Art Award Ceremony, so that the audience who has followed the Zuolin Drama Art Award for many years can witness unforgettable and wonderful moments in another way.
This year's awards ceremony returned, kicking off with a clip from the performance of the country's first anti-epidemic musical", "That City That Year", which was based on the real experience of the Shanghai Aid-E medical team from the expedition to the triumph. The scene also reviewed the performance clips of the stage play "Wave" and the musical "Beacon Book", and all the speakers relived Huang Zuolin's memoir "Past Events".
Since the outbreak of the epidemic prevention and control campaign, Shanghai Dramatic Arts Center has not stopped moving forward in its creation, restarting the theater after experiencing more than 100 days of suspension, and insisting on creating a number of original masterpieces that reflect the spirit of the times. In addition to the traditional offline performances, the Shanghai Dramatic Arts Center has also carried out a new exploration in form: original dramas such as "The Taste of Hot Dry Noodles" and "Wave", which explore the relationship between people against the background of the epidemic, are broadcast live online, and their influence radiates throughout the country.
