Events

KUFA residents, Klaipėdos jaunimo teatras, invite you to the 14th edition of the Jauno Teatro Dienos (Young Theatre Days) Festival, bringing together theatre professionals from across Lithuania to create, experiment, exchange ideas, and collaborate.

Creative teams made up of directors*, set designers, composers, actors, and other performing arts professionals will develop original stage sketches across various venues in Klaipėda. The festival will culminate in a public showcase of these newly created works.

Join us for free sketch presentations on August 8, taking place in different locations throughout Klaipėda.
