Dimitar Dimov State Theatre was established on 1^st September 1960 and consisted of three artistic departments – popular music, drama and puppetry.

 

The first play staged in the theatre was Dobri Voynikov’s ‘Misunderstood Civilization’ (‘Krivorazbranata tsivilizatsiya’).

 

After a series of structural reforms, today the theatre functions as a Theatre and Music Centre. Every year, it presents over 300 plays in front of 250 000 spectators.
