Florence International Theatre Company Information

MISSION and PURPOSE The Global Theatre Project develops and supports opportunities for creative engagement and collaboration that will unite American theatre artists and students with their international counterparts positively affecting the communities in which they are working. The Global Theatre Project seeks to promote cross-cultural alliances and improve the perception of Americans abroad by placing two valuable segments of our citizenry into productive action: our professional theatre artists and our youth. THE PRESENT AND THE FUTURE The time has come to now expand the work on a larger scale and to a broader audience internationally through the establishment of The Global Theatre Project. By basing the organization in the United States and continuing to build on FITC’s work in Florence, The Global Theatre Project, a US 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, seeks to launch additional projects and engage additional communities around the world. The Global Theatre Project recognizes and addresses the importance of providing opportunities for American artists and students to engage internationally in a positive and collaborative way and to explore the full potential of live theatre and events to promote cross-cultural understanding. In doing so, the work done abroad will be brought back to the US and shared in events which bring active attention to the importance of recognizing our global citizenry and the impact that the US has overseas.
