The theatre was founded in Kutaisi in 1928 by Kote Marjanishvili. It moved to Tbilisi in 1930 to the former Brothers Zubalashvili philanthropic "Public House", the building it still occupies. The theatre's art nouveau edifice was thoroughly renovated and reopened in 2006 with the premiere of Bertolt Brecht's The Threepenny Opera.^[3] The theatre building was designed by Polish architect Stefan Kryczyński,^[1] while its construction was led by another Polish architect Aleksander Rogojski, municipal architect of Tbilisi.^[2]
