Stefan Jaracz Theatre, Provincial theatre in Olsztyn, Poland
The Stefan Jaracz Theatre is a classical modernist building housing four distinct performance spaces of varying sizes and purposes. The Main Stage accommodates traditional theatrical works while the other stages host chamber productions, experimental performances, and student showcases.
The building opened in 1925 as Treudank-Theater presenting German productions until 1945. The war's end brought dramatic change as it became a Polish cultural institution with a new identity rooted in national culture.
This theatre serves as a central gathering place where audiences experience both traditional and experimental performances in different performance spaces. The venue reflects local cultural life through its diverse programming for residents and visitors.
The theatre sits near the Łyna River and operates with regular performances throughout the season in various halls. Plan your visit by checking the official website beforehand for current schedules and hall information.
An acting school named after Aleksander Sewruk operates within the building since 1991 training actors for professional theatre. Student performances take place on a dedicated stage, creating a dynamic learning environment within the working theatre.
