Victor Ion Popa Theatre

The Victor Ion Popa Theater is located on Republicii Street in Bârlad and continues the tradition of performances organized in the city since the nineteenth century. The professional institution was inaugurated in 1955, with the play "Mielul turbat" by Aurel Baranga, directed by Sică Alexandrescu. Since 1956, it has been named after the playwright Victor Ion Popa, born in Bârlad.

The play "Take, Ianke și Cadâr" had an important place in the theater's repertoire, and was revived in several productions. The building opens onto a green space in the center of the city and can be seen during a walk along Republicii Street. To see the auditorium and stage, attend a performance; check the schedule on the institution's website.
