Eristavi State Theatre

The Eristavi State Theatre is a performance venue in Gori with three different performance spaces for varying types of productions. The main hall accommodates around 400 spectators, while two smaller stages allow for more experimental or chamber performances.

The theater was founded in 1845, beginning as a gathering of theater enthusiasts in the town. The current building on Chavchavadze Avenue was completed in 1939 and has anchored the cultural center of Gori since then.

This venue serves as a gathering place where the community experiences local and Georgian performing arts. The productions reflect artistic traditions that shape the cultural life of Gori.

The theater sits on Chavchavadze Avenue, where it is easy to locate and tickets are available at the box office. Visitors should check with the theater directly about performance schedules, as programs vary by season.

The theater led the way in including female performers in productions long before this became standard in Tbilisi. This progressive practice reflected an early artistic boldness that characterized the venue.
