national theater
Country's official stage
A national theater is a theater company or institution funded or sanctioned by a government to represent its country's dramatic arts.
Such theaters typically produce classic and contemporary works of cultural significance, often receiving public subsidies: The Royal National Theatre stages everything from Shakespeare to new British playwrights.
The term may also refer to the physical building housing such a company.
