József Attila Theater, Theater and theatrical company on Váci út, Budapest, Hungary
The József Attila Theater is a theater building and acting company in Budapest's 13th district with two performance spaces. The main auditorium holds about 600 seats while a smaller studio space called Gaál Erzsébet accommodates experimental and alternative productions.
The theater was founded in September 1956 in Angyalföld district and underwent major reconstructions in 1967 and 1986. These renovations upgraded the building's infrastructure to support the growing program.
The venue presents classical plays, contemporary dramas, musicals, and children's shows while championing works by Hungarian playwrights. This focus makes it an important space for supporting local artistic voices.
The theater is located at Váci út 63 in the 13th district but has limited accessibility as the building lacks elevators and wheelchair-friendly entrances. Visitors with mobility concerns should check ahead before planning a visit.
The venue operates as both a physical building and an independent acting troupe that performs throughout the year. This dual identity allows the ensemble to pursue its own artistic vision independently.
