ZAGREB, Nov 11 (Hina) – This year’s Theatre Night will be held on November 16 in more than 50 towns across Croatia, and the event will feature a rich programme with an additional five theatres participating.

“More and more small communities are joining in every year, and the Croatian diaspora has started showing interest as well, both in staging performances and in hosting our theatre troupes,” said Zeljko Sturlic, director of the Cultural Centre Dubrava from Zagreb.

The project coordinator, Sandra Banic Naumovski of the Children’s Theatre Dubrava, said that this year’s event would feature performances by both national theatres and small amateur troupes.
