Sentjakobsko Theatre
About

Established in 1921, Šentjakobsko Theatre (Šentjakobsko gledališče) is one of Ljubljana’s oldest cultural institutions and a cornerstone of Slovenia’s amateur theatre tradition. Originally a semi-professional venue, it transitioned in the 1960s into a vibrant amateur theatre, nurturing generations of actors, directors, and technicians—many of whom went on to professional careers. Located at Krekov trg, the theatre shares its historic venue with the Ljubljana Puppet Theatre and underwent a major renovation in 2020 to modernize its facilities. Today, Šentjakobsko Theatre stages a diverse repertoire of comedies, dramas, and musicals, producing around five plays annually and touring across Slovenia and abroad.
