Established as a theatre in 1918, converted into a cinema in the 1920s, and the back again into a theatre after WWII, today this is a popular Krakow venue of comedy shows for both adults and kids. Most of the focus is on light entertainment, but the theatre has still made a great name for itself. These days the theatre is also a venue for chamber music performances. But perhaps the biggest reason tourists, especially film-goers, visit the theatre is because filmmaker Roman Polanski found his beginnings here. Check the theatre online calendar for upcoming shows. It’s an excellent way to spend the night out in Krakow.
