World Theatre Day 2025
Since 1962 World Theatre Day has been celebrated by theatre organisations, theatre universities and theatre lovers across the globe on the 27th of March.
In past years, AITA/IATA has invited its members and amateur theatre companies to join the celebrations by sharing their events on our website. This is not possible this year but we hope that members will share their events on the AITA/IATA Facebook page.
The Home page HERE has a message from the AITA/IATA President Aled Rhys-Jones and you can access it below as a PDF in the three languages of AITA/IATA.
