About Ala Theater Season
The Theater Season at Teatro G. Sartori in Ala
The Theater Season in Ala, in the province of Trento, is the cultural highlight that defines autumn and winter in this Lower Vallagarina town. Organized by the Municipality of Ala through its Cultural Activities Department, the festival takes place at the Teatro G. Sartori, a historic 270-seat venue on Via Teatro. Each year, it offers a diverse program that weaves together different genres, languages, and visions: drama, social theater, comedy, monologues, and shows dedicated to families.
A lineup of big names and local companies
The core of the program consists of a selection of plays performed by nationally renowned actors and companies, complemented by productions from local Trentino theater groups and the Associazione Teatrale Alense, which traditionally opens the season with a free-admission evening. Alongside drama, there is space for children's theater, with titles designed for younger audiences and families, often scheduled in the afternoon.
In Ala, the City of Velvet
The festival is an integral part of the vibrant cultural life of Ala, known as the "City of Velvet" for its historical textile manufacturing tradition and its Baroque town center. For decades, the Teatro Sartori has been the main live performance space in the town and a key reference point for the residents of the southern Vallagarina valley, in Trentino-Alto Adige.
Tickets and Subscriptions
The season offers single tickets at affordable prices and a subscription for the entire drama cycle, with discounted rates for seniors over 65, Touring Club Italiano members, and youth under 26. Presale tickets are available online via the Trentino Spettacoli portal, while subscriptions can be purchased at the theater box office on dates specified by the organizers.
