Profile
【 Man Theater 】
It was opened as a multipurpose hall in 1993 under the name of YOROZU STUDIO. Later, it was renovated as a theater and changed its stage name to Man Gekijo because most of its users were theatergoers.
In addition to independent projects to revitalize theater groups, they also place importance on interaction with local people and aim to contribute to the development of a town with theaters.
This year marks the 8th edition of the short story collection at the Man Theater, which attracts many groups, and a summer festival is also held at the same time as a place for community exchange. In 2018, a day was established to open the theater to the local community, and the theater is provided free of charge for community exchange.
