If you consider a theatre to be at the forefront of cultural life, you must be informed about a new alternative stage in an “Iron Theatre” town. Batumi Ilia Chavchavadze State Drama Theatre is being renovated at the moment and the new stage barely has a capacity for accommodating the 10th of an old theatre audience and therefore, you have to order the tickets a few days in advance. Batumi Puppet Theatre would be a relevant choice if you are visiting the town with a child. Theatre building located in a maple tree alley on Abashidze street is a unique architectural structure which is designated as a national cultural monument.
