In mid-2000, a group of professional Jordanian artists met to form a collective entity for artistic activity with various fields of theatre, cinema and drama. we firmly believe in the necessity of art in the daily life of humans and in our role as artists committed to the local society, to present artistic performances every year in popular and remote areas, produce community films to help carry the imaginative message to as many individuals as possible. We became well known locally and got our declaration as a theater foundation that is called: "Free Theater Association" and got our official license on the 10th of May 2000. In a few years, we became known in the region and the Arab world, through various theater performances. And that helped gaining the trust of the younger generation in us, we are aware of their importance, that is why we focused on establishment of specialized workshops for both genders to discover and refine the youth imaginative energies, we try our best to be a safe shelter for the young to help them recognize their own creative paths. The Festival itself was established locally, and gradualy Arab participations were included. Then the festival developed into an international festival and that put us under the responsibility of being strict and select the best quality of those who apply. This year we come together to celebrate the 14th cycle of the festival and the 19th anniversary of the establishment of the group. We are also celebrating our recognition by the International Commission for Theater (ITI) emanating from UNESCO.
