 Ptuj City Theatre was reestablished in 1995 on the initiative of Samo Strelec and Theatre Zato. Based in a 230-seat hall within a recently renewed and modernised 19th-century historical building, it launched its first repertory season in Autumn 1995. Since that time the seven-member permanent team and over 200 guest actors, among which directors such as Rene Maurin, Tomi Janežič, Ivana Djilas, Nenni Delmestre, Zvone Šedlbauer, Sebastijan Horvat, Matjaž Latin and others have produced around three to four new performances annually, which summs up to over 30 productions since the reopening of the Ptuj theatre.The annual programme is based on new or contemporary relevant drama texts. Past productions include Baltimore Waltz by Paula Vogel, George's Marvellous Medicine by Roald Dahl, Kvetch by Steven Berkoff, Reigen by Arthur Schnitzler, Art by Yasmina Reza, Ay, Carmela! by José Sanchis Sinisterra, Neville's Island by Tim Firth, norway-today by Igor Bauersima, Sleuth by Anthony Shaffer, Grönholm Method by Jordi Galcerán, Two Character Play by Tennessee Williams and various domestic authors.
In addition to its main subscription repertory series, Ptuj City Theatre also hosts guest performances from all Slovene professional theatre houses, international guests and puppetry subscription series for children featuring guest performances by several Slovene puppetry ensembles.
Ptuj City Theatre is a key venue for numerous special events, including the biennial Festival of Monodrama, Ptuj and the annual Slovene Festival of Chamber Theatre (SKUP).
