Dear KIT friends,
it's almost time to taste those exciting bollicine and to cheer to the New Year (and according to the Mayas, a New Era).
In cheering the new year, we ask you to remember KIT and its progress in the theater community in the US and in the world.
Being the Italian theater company in NY is very exciting. 2012 proved again that Italian theater is alive and loved and that bilingual theater is fascinating and enjoyable.
There is still so much to do, to explore, to bring, to stage and to share with an international audience. We are passionately working for the future of the Italian Theater in NY and abroad. We made some very important steps in 2012 (see below) and we have even bigger news for 2013!!!
Before a new year arrives, we ask you to support the Italian Theater Company in NY and share with us the passion and love for our theater and culture. You are very important to us!
And from all of us (Laura, Donatella, Janine, Natasha, Marta, Emanuele, Carlo, Carlotta, Francesco, Ilaria, Jacopo, Romina...)
BUON, SERENO e PIENO DI SALUTE
