Teatrul Tineretului Piatra Neamț, Theatre and historic monument in Piatra Neamț, Romania.
Teatrul Tineretului Piatra Neamț is a theatre institution at Piața Ștefan cel Mare nr. 1, in a building constructed between 1929 and 1947 by architect F.E. Droz and contractor Carol Zane. The building is listed as a historic monument (LMI code NT-II-m-B-10572). It has a resident company and a main stage for performances.
The building was constructed between 1929 and 1947 to designs by architect F. E. Droz (or, by other accounts, Roger H. Bolomey) and inaugurated on 24 October 1942. It first served mainly as the Trianon cinema. In 1958 a section of the Bacău State Theatre was founded here, and its first performance, Molière's Les Fourberies de Scapin directed by David Esrig, took place on 3 October 1958. The institution became the Piatra Neamț State Theatre in 1961 and took the name Teatrul Tineretului in 1967.
The theatre's name changed in 1967 from the Piatra Neamț State Theater to the Piatra Neamț Youth Theater. Its first production, on 3 October 1958, was Molière's "The Tricks of Scapin", directed by David Esrig, with Leopoldina Bălănuță and Florin Piersic in the cast.
The theatre is located in central Piatra Neamț and can be reached by local transport or on foot from most parts of town. Check the performance schedule ahead of your visit to plan accordingly and learn about any special events or series.
