About Gentile Theater Fabriano
A Season of Theater in the Heart of Fabriano
The Gentile da Fabriano Municipal Theater, located at Via Gentile da Fabriano 1, is the main venue for live performances in the "paper city," in the heart of the province of Ancona, in the Marche region. Every year, from October to May, it hosts a rich theater season that alternates author-driven plays, comedies, contemporary dramas, and dance events, attracting a loyal audience from across the region.
Who Organizes It
The season is promoted by the Municipality of Fabriano together with AMAT (Marchigiana Association for Theater Activities), with the contribution of the Marche Region and the Ministry of Culture (MiC). The typical program includes about ten titles, generally eight with subscriptions and some special events dedicated to dance and special productions. Performances usually start at 9 PM.
Big Names on Stage
Leading figures of the Italian theater scene take turns on the Gentile stage: from Alessio Boni to Massimo Popolizio, from Massimo Lopez and Tullio Solenghi to Vanessa Scalera, including directors like Arturo Cirillo and international ballet companies. The repertoire ranges from classics, such as Oscar Wilde and Harold Pinter, to brilliant contemporary comedies, up to grand ballet with timeless titles.
A Historic Theater
The Gentile Theater is named after the famous late Gothic painter Gentile da Fabriano and has been the cultural hub of the Fabriano community for decades. Its programming, carefully curated with AMAT, is designed to offer the territory a nationally recognized quality proposal without needing to travel to major cities.
Why It's Worth It
- Program featuring nationally renowned actors and companies.
- Varied repertoire: drama, comedy, and dance.
- Intimate atmosphere of a historic city theater.
- Subscription packages and single tickets available.
For those visiting Fabriano and the Marche region during the season, an evening at the Gentile Theater is an authentic way to experience local culture and the charm of a stage rich in history.
