The predecessor of Divadlo ALFA was the Dětské divadlo (Children’s Theatre), which began its activities in September 1966 in the ALFA venue on Americká Street. In 1992, it moved to Rokycanská Street and adopted its current name. The theatre's current creative team, together with external collaborators and the acting ensemble, prioritizes a comedic approach to theatre and continues to view the puppet as a dominant and highly attractive stage phenomenon. The repertoire is thematically and stylistically diverse, ranging from classic and modern fairy tales to works of world drama. Since 1967, the theatre has also been the organizer of the Skupa’s Pilsen Festival.
Since the beginning of 2015, the theatre has been led by MgA Jakub Hora. The current creative team, together with external collaborators and a ten-member acting ensemble, favours a comic approach to theatre while continuing to view the puppet as a dominant and uniquely compelling stage phenomenon. The theatre addresses a broad audience: children, young people, and adults alike. Its repertoire is both thematically and generically diverse, ranging from classical and modern fairy tales to world drama.
