World Theatre Day

World Theatre Day is celebrated on March 27th every year. It was first initiated by the International Theatre Institute (ITI) in 1961 to raise awareness about the value of theatre arts and to promote the international exchange of theatre practices and culture.

• Each year, the International Theatre Institute (ITI) commissions a message from a well-known theatre personality to be delivered on World Theatre Day.
• The message is translated into different languages and circulated worldwide.
• The message is a call to celebrate the art of theatre, promote cultural diversity, and to encourage collaboration and exchange of ideas among theatre communities globally.
