Činoherní studio Ústí nad Labem, Expressionist theatre in Ústí nad Labem, Czech Republic
Činoherní studio is an expressionist theatre in Ústí nad Labem, situated at the corner of Varšavská and Kozinova streets. The auditorium has a dark, minimal interior and can seat around 129 to 150 people depending on the configuration used for a given performance.
The building was constructed in 1927 by architect Richard Brosche as the Alhambra Cinema. After severe flood damage in 2002, it was restored and reopened as a theatre in 2004.
The theatre stages classical works alongside contemporary Czech drama and international adaptations throughout its season. Audiences from Ústí nad Labem and the surrounding region treat it as a regular meeting point for local stage life.
The theatre sits at a central crossroads in the city center and is easy to reach on foot. For performances with added seating, arriving early helps secure a more comfortable spot.
As the former Alhambra Cinema, the building was the place where the first sound film in Czechoslovakia was publicly screened in 1929. This connection to film history gives the theatre a layer of meaning that goes well beyond its current role as a stage.
