The role and significance of theatrical art in the life of man and society, in raising thespiritualworld, consciousness and thinkingof thepeopleare incomparable. President oftheRepublic ofUzbekistanShavkat Mirziyoyev If we look at the history of Uzbek theater, it becomes clear that socio-cultural processes have had a direct impact on stage art in all periods. In particular, at the beginning of the last century, the emergence of written dramaturgy and European-style professional theater in Turkestan was undoubtedly dictated by the times themselves through the efforts and initiatives of Jadid enlighteners. The main goal of the Jadids was to put an end to such vices as ignorance, spiritual poverty, and to bring Turkestan into the ranks of the most advanced and developed countries of the world. To accomplish this task, they turned to new educational schools - "usuli jadid" schools, along with the press, and the theater - a living and impressive art form. Mahmudkhoja Behbudi, a great representative of Jadid enlighteners, writes about this in his famous article "What is Theater?": "What is Theater? In response, the theater is a lesson, the theater is a lecture hall, the theater is a moral lesson. A theater is a mirror in which the visually impaired see and the deaf and hard-of-hearing hear and are page968 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ISSN:2692-5206,ImpactFactor:12,23 AmericanAcademicpublishers,volume05,issue04,2025 Journal: https://www.academicpublishers.org/journals/index.php/ijai captivated by the general state of affairs. Conclusion: the theatre serves as a preacher and admonisher, vividly demonstrating harmful customs, traditions, and rituals, as well as their ugliness and harm. He who speaks the truth without respecting anyone, and He who reveals theclear truth."1. At the beginning of the century, Russian and fraternal national theaters frequently visited Turkestan on tour, which naturally strengthened the interest of Uzbek intellectuals in theatrical art. It was the age-old dream of the intelligentsia to create a theater of the same, perhaps even higher quality and level in our country, to show onstage the state ofthe nation's psyche, its pain and experiences. The study of the transformation and modernization processes in the field of theatrical art of Uzbekistan during the period of independence, based on the analysis of its features, main trends, role and priorities in the cultural life of society, issues of management and marketing, the repertoire of theaters, and performances, is of current importance. As Uzbekistan embarked on the path of development based on a market economy, it chose an evolutionary path of development. This required the phased implementation of reforms and the gradual implementation of market laws. Building a free, democratic state and civil society in the country has been defined as a priority task. As a result, positive changes were observed in various spheres of art and culture. "Creative teams freed themselves from the shackles of false methodology, such as the creation of a single Soviet culture, and began to organize their activities independently. That is, thanks to independence, true creative freedom has emerged."2. Since 2017, a new page has opened in the cultural life of Uzbekistan. Shavkat Mirziyoyev, elected President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, paid special attention to supporting other spheres related to literature, art, and spiritual activity. On August 3, 2017, the President of our country met with representatives of the creative intelligentsia, literature and art, where he comprehensively analyzed the problems that have accumulated in the creative sphere, and expressed his proposals for their solution. At the meeting on the topic "Development of literature and art, culture - a solid foundation for raising the spiritual world of our people," topical issues of the development of literature, theater, cinema, music, fine arts and other types of creativity in our country were raised. In particular, the head of our state paid special attention to pressing problems in theatrical art awaiting solutions, made necessary proposals and comments on improving the material and technical base of theaters, supporting theatrical creators, and creating artistically perfect stage works that enhance the spirituality of our people. As our President noted, "The repertoires of most of our theaters are poor in ideological and artistic terms, and the performances featured in them do not reflect today's spirit,
