Culture
The Shiki Theater Natsu was founded on July 14, 1953 by a group of ten university students who wanted to bring about a revolution in the theater world. Since then, the company has grown into an organization with over 1,300 employees, including actors, technical staff and management staff. Today it is one of the largest theater associations in Japan.
With the aim of eliminating the excessive centralization of culture in the Tokyo area, the ensemble operates eight independent theaters in Japan. Five to six different pieces are sent on tour every year.
Over 3000 performances are staged annually to an audience of more than 3 million viewers, with a wide range of shows being presented, including original musicals as well as foreign musicals.
