Hokkaido Shiki Theatre

Hokkaido Shiki Theatre is a 900-seat performance venue in Chuo that hosts regular musicals, stage plays, and theatrical productions throughout the year. The space features modern audio and lighting systems designed to support diverse types of performances.

The theatre opened in January 2011 and became part of the Shiki Theatre Company network, founded in 1953 by ten university students. This opening marked the organization's expansion into the Hokkaido region.

The venue focuses on Japanese adaptations of international productions, regularly staging Broadway shows and Disney musicals translated for local audiences. Visitors experience a blend of global theatre culture shaped specifically for Japanese viewers.

The building provides wheelchair accessibility and special subtitle glasses in English, Chinese, and Korean for international visitors during selected performances. It's helpful to check ahead about availability and the type of production you plan to attend.

The Shiki Theatre Company uses a merit-based casting system that evaluates performers solely on their theatrical abilities. This principle shapes the quality and authenticity of productions shown here.
