Thank You for Celebrating 10 Years of Rehearsal for Truth Together!

As the curtain falls on the 10th Rehearsal for Truth International Theater Festival, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined us to celebrate this milestone…

This anniversary would not have been possible without the incredible artists, directors, playwrights, translators, partners, volunteers, sponsors, and supporters who brought the festival to life. Most importantly, thank you to our audiences.

A special thank you goes to our Artistic Director, Edward Einhorn, whose vision, dedication, and leadership have shaped Rehearsal for Truth into an internationally recognized platform for contemporary theater and human rights.

Although this year’s festival has come to an end, the conversation continues. We invite you to stay connected as we share photos, videos, interviews, and exciting announcements about upcoming programs from the Vaclav Havel Center.

“ Each year, as artistic director of the festival, I look for work that speaks to the moment, and I find that the artistic landscape is rich with insight. The work is often bleakly comic, as you might expect from a region still haunted, even after more than 35 years, by Soviet rule. And yet it is also slyly full of hope, and that hope, from a region that has been through the authoritarian wringer and back again once or twice, gives me hope as well.”
