Hi Denis,

<quote follows>

WORLD THEATRE DAY was created in 1961 by the International Theatre Institute
(ITI). World Theatre Day is celebrated annually on the 27th March by ITI Centres
and the international theatre community, various national and international
theatre events being organized to mark this occasion. One of the most important
of these is the circulation of the International Message traditionally written
by a theatre personality of world stature at the invitation of the International
Theatre Institute.
