What Teatr Lalek "Pleciuga" w Szczecinie does

Teatr Lalek "Pleciuga" w Szczecinie is a municipal puppet theatre (Samorządowa instytucja kultury miasta Szczecin) founded in 1953 and located at pl. Teatralny 1, Szczecin, Poland, serving regional audiences in the Zachodniopomorskie Voivodeship. The institution operates three dedicated performance stages within a single accessible building: the Scena Główna (Main Stage) for full-scale children's and adult productions, the Scena Kameralna for intimate marionette and adult programming, and the Scena Najnajowa for sensory performances targeting infants aged 6 months to 2 years. Its repertoire spans children's fairy-tale adaptations, youth and adult productions, and accessible/inclusive shows, produced using traditional and contemporary puppet techniques including bunraku-style manipulation, string marionettes, and hybrid puppet figures with live music and vocal performance.

The theatre serves a broad audience base: families with infants through adults, organized kindergarten and school groups, individual walk-in audiences, and disabled audiences through a documented accessibility infrastructure (audio description, PJM sign language, induction loops, sensory calming room, noise-cancelling headphones). Its revenue model combines per-ticket transactions (48 zł normal adult, 30 zł child, 26 zł group, 1 zł symbolic for disabled), venue and space rental (Main Stage, Chamber Stage, Najnajowa Stage, conference room, educational rooms), paid educational programs (theatre and plastic-arts workshops at 30 zł per participant, theatre lessons at 15 zł), and recurring government subsidies from the City of Szczecin and Zachodniopomorskie Voivodeship. Distribution is direct via physical box office, telephone, and email reservations; marketing relies on social media (TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube), newsletter, and direct educational outreach through a dedicated education department. The institution employs approximately 20 people and is led by Director (CEO/Artistic) Tomasz Lewandowski.
