Divadelní spolek Kašpar is an independent Prague theatre company founded in 1990, shortly after the Velvet Revolution, originally under the name Kašpar je mrtvý (after a poem by Hans Arp). Its founding members included Jakub Špalek, Jan Hřebejk and Michal Dočekal; today Špalek leads the ensemble of around forty actors and five directors. The company performs at two home stages in central Prague - Divadlo v Celetné and the Klubovna on Jindřišská - and since 2001 has taken productions outdoors each summer to castles, manor houses and farmyards across Bohemia. In over 35 years it has staged more than 135 premieres and gives around 400 performances a year.
On the website of the Theatre in Celetná in April 2026, a question appeared about whether the theatre would end as an independent venue, suggesting ongoing negotiations about the future of the space.
On April 16, 2026, Jan Potměšil (born March 31, 1966) died, an actor associated with Kašpar from its beginnings.
In February 2026, the Theatre in Celetná premiered the production Physicists (Dürrenmatt) directed by Barbora Mašková with Matouš Ruml and Petr Lněnička in the leading roles.
Principal Jakub Špalek received the Thalia Prize in November 2025 for promoting theatrical art.
In October 2025, the production Difficult Possibility of Concentration by Václav Havel directed by Šimon Dominik premiered.
