About the venue: Vrchlického divadlo

Vrchlického divadlo is the only classical theatre venue in Louny. The building was constructed in 1948-1950 to a design by Vít Nepor and opened in October 1950 under the name Fučíkovo divadlo. After a major reconstruction in 2002-2003 it regained its originally intended name and reopened in 2003. The theatre has no resident company - its programme consists of touring productions from Prague and the region, amateur theatre, and since 2004 the Lounské divadlení festival. The auditorium seats 262.
