Celebrate World Theatre Day March 27th

Once a year, we humble theatre folk stop to take a look at the effect we have on the world around us. Lest we forget the year's World Theatre Day, or WTD!

"Today’s gathering is a true reflection of the immense potential of theatre to mobilize communities and bridge the divides."...

The 2011 World Theatre Day, international message is by Jessica A. Kaahwa, and is one of peace. Wow, theatre is a great tool for maintaining it!

World Theatre Day was created in 1961 by the International Theatre Institute (ITI). Visit the ITI blog page to read the international message at http://worldtheatreday.co/the-world-theatre-day-message-2011/

We all participate around the world in this event, and for my part, I'll be actually tweeting a play on Twitter! That's right, on March 27, join me and other Montreal artists as we create an impromptu play with characters hashed out as 1, 2, 3 etc. and create a mini-play! I'll be character #2 and my Twitter addy is @DAKtwitta of course! The production is being carried out by The Charlebois Post and the final script will be posted online on CharPo's site.
