Setagaya Public Theatre is a non-profit theatre funded by the city of Setagaya council. Setagaya is the most populous area in central Tokyo. The Theatre is located in a 26-storey building complex, a major city development that opened in April 1997. It has two performance spaces: the "Public Theatre" (600 seats) and "Theatre Tram"(218 seats).
The Setagaya Public Theatre is now well known as a successful theatre, and plays a leading role as a model for other public theatres in Japan. It aims to produce and present high quality performing arts productions, especially contemporary drama and dance by both national and international artists. It also holds creative workshops for theatre practitioners or dancers with a view to developing future productions, researching the contemporary performing arts, producing outstanding productions, and providing outreach programs to schools in the Setagaya area.
