Teatro Junghans
Cutting-edge theatre takes on a literal meaning at this three-sided stage, nicknamed Teatro Formaggino (Little Cheese Theatre) because it looks like a wedge of cheese. The experimental theatre seats 150, but you’re not expected to just sit there: Teatro Junghans offers workshops on costume design in August, mask-acting in July and September, and commedia dell’arte (archetypal improvisational comedy) in August and September. If you’d rather leave that sort of thing to the professionals, check the online calendar for performances when the company is in residence.

Teatro Toniolo
This busy forum in Mestre, in business since 1912 (and renovated in 2004), runs programmes ranging from Shakespeare to local drama, occasionally in dialect. Concert cycles and children's theatre are also a feature.
