It is celebrated annually on the 27th March by ITI Centres and the international theatre community.
Various national and international theatre events are organized to mark this occasion.
The first World Theatre Day International Message was written by Jean Cocteau (France) in 1962
It was first in Helsinki, and then in Vienna at the 9th World Congress of the ITI in June 1961 that President Arvi Kivimaa proposed on behalf of the Finnish Centre of the International Theatre Institute that a World Theatre Day be instituted. The proposal, backed by the Scandinavian centres, was carried with acclamation
