The bearers of theatre tradition in Zadar
 
The beginnings of theatre in the town of Zadar can be traced way back to the 11th century since it was at that time that the first Croatian Medieval liturgical plays and rituals in Latin were developed. The theatre tradition is thus more than a thousand years old and it is a cornerstone of Croatian theatre scene development. Croatian National Theatre therefore still has a major role in the culture of Zadar. It is located in the very centre of the town, on Široka street (better known as 'Kalelarga'), and it has a capacity of 650 seats. Acting workshop of Zadar Theatre has produced many successful plays, and many attendants have finished drama colleges afterwards.
