Žižkovské divadlo Járy Cimrmana, Theater in Žižkov district, Prague, Czech Republic
The Žižkovské divadlo Járy Cimrmana is a theater located in Prague's Žižkov neighborhood, housed in a historic building with approximately 230 seats. The auditorium consists of ten rows on the main floor and four rows in the balcony section.
The building was constructed in 1875 as a three-story structure featuring a courtyard wing. It originally housed a tavern and dance hall before being converted into a theater.
The theater takes its name from Jára Cimrman, a fictional character central to Czech humor and satire. Performances here revolve around his adventures and stories, which regularly entertain audiences with local wit.
The venue is easily accessible from the Žižkov neighborhood. Visitors should book tickets in advance through the website and check the current schedule to plan which performances to attend.
During the 1880s, a section of the building briefly served as a chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary. This made the structure the only religious space in the area for a short period.
