Over the past months, Abdel Baki has selected a group of 40 young actors and actresses and trained them; he also put the final artistic touches on the new theater's performances.
Abdel Baki graduated from Ain Shams University's Faculty of Commerce, later deciding to pursue a drama career despite his parent's dislike for acting.
However, Abdel Baki's parents later changed their opinion after he received support from his older brother.
Abdel Baki acted in 54 films, 16 soap operas, and 14 plays, with the play “Khashab El-Ward” (Flower Wood) being his first role on stage.
He persuaded late veteran actor Fouad el-Mohandes, and his wife Shwikar to appear in the film “Estanglina”, starring Abdel Baki.
The veteran actor was honored at the Cairo International Film Festival for Children.
