Marjanishvili Theatre building, State theatre building in Tbilisi, Georgia.
Marjanishvili Theatre occupies a former Public House structure built in Art Nouveau style by Polish architect Stefan Kryczyński in central Tbilisi. The building now functions as a performance venue with exhibition space dedicated to documenting Georgian theatrical history.
The theatre was founded in 1928 by director Kote Marjanishvili in Kutaisi before moving to this central Tbilisi location in 1930. The move to the capital allowed the company to grow into an established cultural institution.
The theatre shapes the street experience through regular performances that blend classical Georgian dramas with contemporary interpretations. Visitors encounter productions that reflect local theatrical traditions and artistic approaches passed down through generations.
The building sits on Kote Marjanishvili Street and is easily accessible on foot in the city centre. Regular performances occur throughout the year, and a museum inside is open to visitors during operational hours.
In 1958, the institution received the Order of the Red Banner of Labour, recognizing its artistic contributions to society. This award documents the esteem in which the theatre was held during that period.
