Setagaya Public Theatre

The Setagaya Public Theatre operates two performance spaces within Carrot Tower, with a main auditorium seating 600 people and Theatre Tram accommodating 218 people. The two venues allow flexibility for different production types and enable simultaneous events.

Its founding in 1997 made it a major performing arts center in Tokyo's most populated district. The facility was designed as a public institution to provide the local arts community with new opportunities.

The theatre hosts contemporary drama and dance performances throughout the year, bringing together Japanese and international artists on its stages. The two performance spaces allow for different types of productions and create opportunities for experimental and established works.

Visitors can reach the theatre directly from Sangen-jaya Station on the Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line, with convenient access to the Tokyu Setagaya Line as well. The venue offers good accessibility and sits in an easy-to-navigate commercial area.

The venue operates as a non-profit organization funded by the Setagaya council and regularly offers workshops. These programs reach aspiring theatre makers and provide insight into professional production processes.
