What Divadlo Ungelt does

Divadlo Ungelt is a private, for-profit chamber theater founded in Prague on October 2, 1995 by Milan Hein. It operates two performance venues: the year-round Kamenná scéna, a basement theater seating approximately 100 patrons on Malá Štupartská in Prague's Old Town, and the seasonal Letní scéna, a covered open-air stage on Nový Svět in Hradčany that has run for 21 seasons. The repertoire consists of dramatic and comedic plays—both Czech premieres of international works and established classics—performed by prominent Czech actors including Ivana Chýlková, Petr Uhlík, Barbora Poláková, and Marek Adamczyk.

The business sells tickets through its own box office, the online enigoo.cz platform, and the Ticket Art national network, and operates subscription packages (předplatné DU-1 through DU-4) offering approximately 20% discounts with transferable tickets. The theater runs approximately 365 days per year and produces both in-house and touring performances at larger Prague venues (Divadlo ABC, Divadlo Bez zábradlí). In January 2026, the company opened Café Hein, a theater café at Štupartská 7, extending its operations into food and beverage and creating a daytime customer engagement space.

The theater has operated continuously for 30 years, drawing 34,600 visitors to the Summer Stage in 2025 alone, with multiple productions selling out months in advance and several reaching 100–200+ reperformances. Revenue derives from ticket sales, subscriptions, touring, café F&B, and ancillary activities such as the Rozpravy Milana Heina radio program on Czech Radio Dvojka and an annual charity performance benefiting Centrum Paraple (which has cumulatively raised over 3 million CZK). The company is independently owned with 11–50 employees, operates exclusively in the Czech market, and has no disclosed external investors.
