Jeongdong Theater 정동 극장

Established in 1995 as an annex of The National Theater of Korea, Jeongdong Theater is the representative traditional arts performance theater of Korea. With diverse cultural facilities, Jeongdong Theater has become a popular tourist attraction. The main program of Jeongdong Theater is the Traditional Arts Performance. The Traditional Arts Performance is presented everyday, and has become a place where traditional arts are introduced to foreigner visitors.

Jeongdong Theater's outdoor courtyard, Ssamji Madang, has become a cultural site for the public. Special event performances usually take place there. Art decorates the walls of the Jeongdong Theater lobby, turning it into a small art gallery that visitors can appreciate while they are waiting for their performance to begin. The art featured always has a certain theme and the theme changes periodically. Inside the building, brochures explaining the performance schedules are available. Inside the theater is a wall painting named 'Myths of Planets, Plays, Vision.'
