Drama Theatre Geo Milev

The Drama Theatre Geo Milev is a theatre in Stara Zagora operating two separate stages for different kinds of performances. The main hall seats around 300 people, while the smaller chamber stage holds about 49 seats and accommodates more intimate productions.

The theatre was founded in 1919, building on early theatrical activities tied to the revolutionary movement of the late 1800s. These roots in the independence struggle gave the institution a cultural significance that extended beyond entertainment.

The theatre is named after a significant Bulgarian writer and presents a range of classical and contemporary productions. The programme balances works by national playwrights with international pieces, reflecting the local taste for both traditional and modern storytelling.

The theatre sits in the city centre on a main boulevard and is easy to locate and reach on foot. Advance booking of tickets is recommended and can be done through their online channels or by phone.

The institution partners with touring companies and co-produces works with other theatres, extending its reach beyond the city walls. These collaborations bring visiting artists and fresh perspectives to the local stage regularly.
