national theaters
Government-funded performance venues
National theaters are government-supported theatrical institutions that typically serve as a country's flagship venue for dramatic arts.
Most major nations maintain one, often staging canonical works alongside new productions: the National Theatre in London, France's Comédie-Française.
The term can also refer collectively to a nation's theatrical tradition or infrastructure.
