Theatre duo opens first privately owned stage in Krakow's Kazimierz district

The first entirely privately owned theatre has recently opened in Krakow. Scena El-Jot is in a renovated house in the Kazimierz district and is owned by an actor-director couple. There are over ten private theatre teams, but Scena El-Jot is the only one with its own stage. It has been operating since 1991, but up to now it was presenting its plays in museums and churches. The air-conditioned theatre seats 120-150 people and has a small cafe. Some firms, which took part in building it instead of taking money, will be able to use it for their own purposes.
