“Saitama Arts Theater Tsushin” is an information magazine of the Saitama Arts and Culture Foundation, a public interest incorporated foundation, and delivers information on performances sponsored by the foundation through interviews with performers, contributed articles, and a wealth of visuals. We have recently renewed the magazine and published Vol.108. In addition to being distributed at Saitama Kaikan, cultural facilities in the Tokyo metropolitan area, and public cultural facilities in Saitama Prefecture, it can also be viewed as a digital book on the foundation’s website. Similarly, for members, each issue will be delivered one week to 10 days after publication. https://www.saf.or.jp/press/2024/108/
