Petros Adamian Tbilisi State Armenian Drama Theatre, Armenian theatre in Avlabar district, Tbilisi, Georgia.
The Petros Adamian Theatre is a performance venue for Armenian drama in Tbilisi located in the Avlabar district. The building historically provided space for both classical and contemporary Armenian productions on its stage.
The venue was founded in 1858 by Gevork Chmshkian and moved to its present building in Avlabar in 1936. The opening performance at the new location featured Mkrtich Djanan's Shakh Nane.
The theatre has long served as a gathering place where the Armenian community in Tbilisi could watch stories from their own culture performed on stage. Today it remains important for preserving plays and traditions that hold meaning for Armenian audiences.
The building is currently undergoing substantial renovation and is not regularly open for performances at its original location. The company's productions take place at various venues across Georgia, France, and Armenia instead.
The venue became a hub for Armenian dramatic arts and drew major performers such as Petros Adamian, Siranoush, and Vagram Papazian to its stage. These artists left a legacy that shaped the course of Armenian theatre.
