About

Established in 1969 as the Trešnjevka Small Theatre, City Theatre Trešnja is one of Zagreb’s leading stages for children and young audiences. Housed in a striking building with a tiled façade, dome, and signature cherry emblem, it offers a modern 310-seat auditorium designed for immersive storytelling. Its repertoire blends adaptations of classic fairy tales, contemporary works, and original plays, often enriched with music, dance, and elaborate stagecraft.

Beyond entertainment, it fosters creativity and cultural literacy through educational programs, workshops, and collaborations with Croatian and international artists.
