U.S. Center of the International Theatre Institute
In the aftermath of World War II, ITI was founded to protect the rights of theatre people around the world—to ensure their right to communicate. Throughout the Cold War, during hot police actions, and in a world with a supreme talent for misunderstanding, ITI has woven a network fostering theatre communication, protecting the rights of theatre practitioners and helping American theatre artists to take their places on the world stage.
