Klicpera Theatre is a public benefit organisation dedicated to producing theatre on its own stages. A major professional drama theatre with a tradition dating back to 1885, it ranks among the most respected theatres in the Czech Republic. It is known for its contemporary dramaturgy, openness to current themes, and high production quality. In addition to its regular repertoire, the theatre organises two annual festivals: Waiting for Václav and REGIONS. It also hosts a range of other events, including Zažít město jinak (Experience the City Differently), a 17 November happening, Christmas concerts, and activities as part of the Night of Theatres. In recent years, it has also established a collaboration with the Hradec Králové Philharmonic. An important part of Klicpera Theatre’s work is its engagement with primary and secondary school students, offering not only performances but also extended programmes such as workshops, discussions, and holiday theatre camps.
