Divadlo Sklep, Cultural theatre in Braník, Czech Republic.

Divadlo Sklep is a Prague theatre ensemble founded in 1971 by David Vávra and Milan Šteindler, performing since 1980 in the Dobeška cultural building in Braník. The low building has a cream facade with blue trim, a blue-edged canopy over double glass doors, and a blue sign reading "dobeška" above the entrance, flanked by blue-framed windows with white blinds.

Divadlo Sklep was founded in 1971 by fourteen-year-olds David Vávra and Milan Šteindler as Kobil klub in the cellar of Vávra's grandmother's house. The ensemble moved to the Dobeška cultural building in Braník in 1980, which became its permanent home stage. In the 1980s Sklep was the main force behind the Pražská pětka group, and in 1988 Tomáš Vorel directed the film Pražská 5, to which Sklep contributed the segment Na brigádě.

The ensemble's name comes from the cellar of David Vávra's grandmother's house, where the first sketches were staged in 1971. Its annual Besídka, a revue of sketches, songs and dances, has grown to draw on a range of languages, puns and invented words rather than Czech alone.

The ensemble has performed at the Dobeška cultural building in Braník since 1980, and the building also hosts other cultural events. The theatre is reachable by public transport in Prague 4; check the current programme before travelling, as Sklep performs as a guest ensemble rather than nightly.

The name Sklep means "cellar": the ensemble began in 1971 in the actual cellar of David Vávra's grandmother's house, where two fourteen-year-olds, Vávra and Milan Šteindler, first performed as Kobil klub for friends. The early poems and sketches written there were later reused in the annual Besídka programme.
