{"value"=>"<p>The concept of the National Centers is at the core of ITI's structure. The Centers represent their country's theatrical art and assist the Institute in carrying out its various functions. Many Centers prepare a periodic activities report, as well as publish a newsletter. Each Center's membership is generally made up of both theatre practitioners and scholars, but there is flexibility in the Centers' functioning and in their membership recruitment. The number of National Centers has grown over time, from 8 in 1948 to 90 in 2005.</p> <p>The National Center items reflect administrative and communications issues, and, in some cases, describe the theatrical activity of the country. They include newsletters, pamphlets, reports, schedules, questionnaires, theatre listings, performance listings, theatrical surveys and bibliographies. Additional ITI National Center publications may be found in Series X Subject Files.</p> <p>Some centers publish(ed) more formal annuals and periodicals; these may be found in the NYPL online catalog.
