The theatre occupies the reconstructed building of the Municipal Library on 28. října street, a short walk from the city centre. The auditorium seats about one hundred spectators, so the stage stays close wherever you sit. The foyer also hosts photographic exhibitions and other events outside the performance programme.
The theater enforces a strict no-late-entry policy, which ensures performances start on time. The best view for subtitle-assisted performances is from the middle rows of the auditorium.
