The National Theatre of Northern Greece is currently one of the largest theatrical organizations in our country. It has five indoor venues (Royal Theatre, Theatre of the Society for Macedonian Studies, EMS Foyer, Lazaristes Monastery – Socrates Karantinos Stage, and Small Theatre) and two open-air theatres (Forest Theatre and Earth Theatre). Through its domestic and international activities (tours and festival organization), it has been an active cultural hub since 1961.
