STEFAN JARACZ THEATRE IN LODZ
Stefan Jaracz Theatre is a cultural institution subordinate to the Marshall Office of Lodz.
The three stages located at Kilinskiego Street are supported by four regional scenes in
Sieradz, Piotrkow Trybunalski, Skierniewice and Radomsk, that came to be through a
financial project funded by the European Union. This allows this largest dramatic theatre in
Poland to provide the audiences – also those located outside the region’s capital – with a
cultural product of the highest quality; this position is confirmed through numerous awards,
including Golden Masks – a proof of praise from local critics. The crew of the Stefan Jaracz
Theatre is eager to undertake challenges and has maintained its superb artistic level for years.
We have the support and recognition of audiences and critics and are invited to festivals on
national and international levels. We cooperate with artists respected throughout Poland and
the whole world. Each month the theatre performs around 60 shows on three stages, for ca. 4
thousand spectators.
