Švandovo Theater
Švandovo Theater in Smíchov, whose operation is partly funded also by the Prague 5 city quarter, leans on almost one hundred and thirty years of tradition. The theater has two theater halls – the big hall can seat as many as 300 spectators, while the basement studio is variable and 50 to 100 spectators can be seated there depending on its current arrangement. There is also a cafe at the spectators' disposal where spectators can refresh themselves during and after a performance and it is also open throughout the day. Švandovo Theater's repertoire consists of plays performed by the local troupe, but it is also possible to see performances by guest theater companies. Also concerts of various genres take place regularly here, as well as a cycle dedicated to writers part of which are book launches, or performances and programs for children and youth. More than 450 cultural events take place at Švandovo Theater each year. Švandovo Theater is open to all, as it has barrier free access and as the first Prague dramatic theater it accompanies its selected plays by subtitles, ensuring that international audiences can therefore enjoy its performances as well.
