Theater in Patras
Patras has a sufficient number of theatrical stages with options that satisfy general audience. During the winter the theatrical stages host amateur and professional performances while the DIPETHE (Municipal & Regional Theatre) Patras mainly takes care of the stage of the Apollo Theater with classical works and strong productions. Local creators, directors, writers and actors cover most of the annual program which is also complemented by works from Athens and other cities in Greece and beyond. At the same time, the largest percentage of the city’s scenes maintain acting classes and other activities around the theatrical art, which also present their work during the theatrical season. In the summer, the scene changes with the main protagonist being the International Festival of Patras and the Roman Odeon with performances of ancient and modern theater, but also concerts and other events on stage. Also, the open theater of Krini presents a stable cultural activity in recent years.
