Happy World Theatre Day!

A little history of its origin... The day was initiated by ITI, following President Arvi Kivimaa’s June 1961 proposal at the ninth World Congress of the ITI in Vienna — on behalf of the ITI’s Finnish Centre — for a World Theatre Day to be instituted. The proposal was supported by the Scandinavian centers of the ITI and publicized with enthusiasm.

STAY TUNED FOR ZOOM INFO SESSION IN APRIL!
