In contrast to professional theater, it generally refers to non-professional theater performed in workplaces, local communities, schools, etc. In the narrow sense, it refers to theater excluding student theater and school plays. Workplace theater was born from the proletarian theater movement in the 1920s and early 1930s, but it faded into obscurity due to oppression. After World War II, it flourished all at once with the rapid development of the labor movement, and was called "independent theater," producing such writers as Suzuki Masao and Miyamoto Ken, but was destroyed in the 1950 Red Purge by the occupying forces. Since the 1960s, local theater groups have been active beyond the workplace. National organizations for amateur theater include the Japan Amateur Theater Federation, the All-Japan Realism Theater Conference, and the National High School Theater Council, and the International Amateur Theater Festival is held in Toyama and Kanagawa prefectures.

一般に職業としての演劇に対して,職場,地域,学校などで行われる非職業的な演劇をいう。狭義には学生演劇や学校劇を除いた演劇をさす。職場演劇は 1920~30年代前半のプロレタリア演劇運動によって生れたが,弾圧によっていったん影をひそめる。第2次世界大戦後,労働運動の急激な展開につれて一斉に開花し,「自立演劇」とも呼ばれて鈴木政男,宮本研らの作家を生んだが,1950年占領軍によるレッド・パージで壊滅状態となった。 1960年代以降は職場をこえた地域劇団の持続的な活動が盛ん。アマチュア演劇の全国組織としては,日本アマチュア演劇連盟,全日本リアリズム演劇会議,全国高等学校演劇協議会があり,富山県と神奈川県では国際アマチュア演劇祭も開催されている。
