Since 1946 the theatre has been considered an independent state cultural institution entitled National Theatre for Youth. Gradually, the company developed two different repertoire sections – one for kids and teenagers, one for adults.

The Youth Theatre has always been respected – not only because of its performances for young audiences, but also because of its exciting stage interpretations of classical and contemporary adult plays/novels.

The Youth Theatre has always worked in close relations with some of the best actors, directors, designers, and composers Bulgaria has to offer.
