The theatre opened in 2003 as part of the celebrations marking the 50th anniversary of the Shiki Theatre Company. It was built to give the company a permanent home in central Tokyo.
The theater presents a mix of contemporary drama and family musicals that draw audiences of different ages and interests. Shows reflect both modern storytelling and traditional performance sensibilities that appeal to various theatergoers.
The theatre is within walking distance of Takeshiba Station, with Hamamatsucho Station also nearby. Booking in advance is a good idea since the auditorium is on the smaller side and fills up quickly.
