RKTMC Mazā ģilde Old Town Theater

The joy of performing on the stage of Vecpilsētas teātris (“Old Town Theater”) brings together people of various ages and professions who, under the direction of Edīte Neimane, create, experiment, and improvise on eternal themes—faith, power, loneliness, hatred, and love—reflecting them in productions of works by both foreign and Latvian authors. The theater regularly participates in the Riga amateur theater festival “Rīga spēlē teātri” (Riga Plays Theater) and has been among the award winners for several years. The theater has successfully taken part in both local and international theater showcases and festivals in Bulgaria, Poland, Lithuania, and Austria.
