International Theatre Day
International Theatre Day is celebrated annually on 27 March. It was initiated in 1961 by the International Theatre Institute (ITI). The most important event on this day is that at an invitation of ITI, a renowned personality shares his or her reflections on the theme of Theatre and a Culture of Peace.
The very first International Theatre Day message was written by Jean Cocteau (France) in 1962. In 2024, the international message was written by Samiha Ayoub, an Egyptian actress who is not only active in theatre, but also in the world of cinema and television.
