Burgas drama theatre, Theatre building in central Burgas, Bulgaria.
The Burgas Drama Theatre is a theatre building in central Burgas that maintains a permanent acting company. This ensemble performs classical and modern productions on its main stage throughout the year.
In 1914 the Burgas municipality decided to create a subsidised permanent theatre, but the acting company was formed only in autumn 1918. Its first production, Sukhovo-Kobylin's "The Wedding of Krechinsky", opened on 1 February 1919, followed by Gogol's "Marriage" and works by Strindberg and Ostrovsky. The theatre is named after the actress Adriana Budevska.
The theatre hosts both Bulgarian and international plays, serving as a vital cultural venue for the city's performing arts community. Regular productions here engage local audiences with diverse theatrical traditions throughout the season.
After a 2011 renovation the theatre has two halls: the main auditorium with 298 seats and the Apostol Karamitev chamber hall with up to 105 seats. It co-organises the international theatre festival "Na brega", held every September. The earlier single auditorium held 400 seats.
