YOUNG THEATRE DAYS 2021

We are inviting professional actors, theatre directors and scenographers to participate and fill in the application form.

The Young Theatre Days Festival, organised by Klaipėda Youth Theatre for the ninth time, announces an international selection of participants and gathers theatre professionals for an intensive creative week in the Lithuanian seaport of Klaipėda. Creative workshops of theatre professionals are at the heart of the Young Theatre Days Festival: over a limited time, creators from different fields – actors, directors, playwrights and set designers – hold mini-performances together, present their work to viewers in non-traditional spaces and build up creative contacts for further collaboration.
