Our New Social Networking Site for World Theatre

For those of you who visit our blog frequently or are here for the first time, we would like to extend a special, limited-time offer to join The Internationalists Global Theatre Network. It works as our own social networking site (ala facebook or myspace). As our mission is to create a more open, sustainable and interactive global theatrical community, this is a major step in achieving our goals. In addition to pertinent information about the world of theatre, this is also a place where you can create your own profile, meet & chat with other artists, post discussions, pose questions and create special topic groups. In order to receive an invitation, you must send us your email address at info@theinternationalists.org and put in the subject line, ‘Online Network: Blog’. You will then receive an invitation which will get you started. We look forward to having you join us at theinternationalists.ning.com.
