About Torremaggiore Theatre Season
Drama in the heart of the Alto Tavoliere
The Torremaggiore Theatre Season is the winter highlight for drama, presented annually by the Municipality of Torremaggiore—a hub in the Alto Tavoliere area of the province of Foggia—in collaboration with Puglia Culture, the regional live performance circuit of the Puglia region. The festival brings top-tier names from the Italian theatre scene to a town of just under seventeen thousand residents, offering the community a high-quality programme at accessible prices.
Two venues steeped in history
Performances take place in two iconic local landmarks. The Sala Consiliare of the De Sangro Ducal Castle, an ancient feudal residence overlooking the historic centre, provides an intimate and evocative setting for recitals and monologues. The larger Auditorium of the San Giovanni Bosco school complex hosts comedy shows and productions with higher audience capacity.
A programme of great performers and comedy
Each edition features a mix of classic adaptations, intelligent comedy, conversation-style shows, and literary events. The stages of Torremaggiore have welcomed performers such as Enrico Lo Verso, Alessandro Preziosi, Giobbe Covatta, Saverio Raimondo, and the duo Antonio Stornaiolo and Daniela Baldassarra, starring in productions ranging from Pirandello to satire on couple life.
More than just evening drama
The Municipality's cultural programming extends beyond the evening schedule: alongside the drama performances, there are Sunday family events and the "La Scena dei Ragazzi" (The Youth Scene) series, featuring matinees dedicated to schools. This project has supported Torremaggiore students for over thirty years, using theatre as a tool for personal growth and education.
A community project
Thanks to affordable ticket prices and several free-entry events, the Theatre Season reaffirms its public service mission: bringing high-quality contemporary theatre to an inland area of Puglia, far from major city circuits, and cultivating a loyal audience across all ages and backgrounds.
