OUR 2007 - 2008 SEASON
In this second season Florence International Theatre Company brings love to the stage of il Teatro di Cestello in its many forms and fashions. From devotion through letters to faith in what guides us to the intimate exploration of fidelity and trust, FITC offers you laughter and silences, the fun of the theatrical and the simple acknowledgment of recognition through the productions we have chosen to share with you this season.
In addition to our main stage, our children's theatre offerings also explore this theme -- from a little clown who shares himself to make Christmas special for others to the faith of Cinderella in love's magic power -- English Spettacolare! productions will activate both the English language and the hearts of children this season!
