One of the oldest and foremost theatre in Ethiopian history, it served as a multipurpose venue for artistic performances over half decades.

[1] Previously a nightclub, the theatre was incorporated in 1935 by collaborative association Ye-hager Fikir Mahber.

The formation originally aimed for preemptive union of Ethiopian nation and its culture against upcoming Italian full invasion of the country a year later.

Ye-hager Fikir Mahber then reinstated their work and relocated the theatre to warehouse in Piazza, which was renewed in 1942.

[4] Ethiopian plays as well as William Shakespeare, Friedrich Schiller, Henrik Ibsen and Molière literature were reworked in recent years.
