World Theatre Day 2010
March 27th is almost here, and it’s a cause for celebration — around the world, during World Theatre Day! In New York and New Zealand, and everywhere in between, there will be shows, talks, and reflection about just how important theatre is in our lives… all of our lives.
Dame Judi Dench was chosen to give this year’s message, which will be translated into over 20 languages. A heartfelt, straightforward, and elegant message (true to the Dame’s delivery on stage), she states, “Performances can occur in a small village in Africa, next to a mountain in Armenia, on a tiny island in the Pacific. All it needs is a space and an audience.”
Even if you don’t celebrate on the day, make sure you celebrate the theatre in your own backyard. See a show by an emerging playwright, or a new ensemble. What makes theatre of the community is the community.
See you at the theatre…
