The Mala Scena Theatre is a theatre in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia. It is credited as Croatia's leading theatre for children.[2][3] It is also the oldest private theatre for young audiences in Croatia.[4][5] In 1996, the first Croatian president Franjo Tuđman awarded the founders Vitomir Lončar and Ivica Šimić with the Order of Danica with the figure of Marko Marulić for special merits to culture.[3] In 2009, the theatre received the City of Zagreb Plaque for its work.[3]

In March 2020 the Mala Scena and the Croatian National Theatre announced they would "transfer cultural content from the theatre to the virtual world" in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, as reported by HRT.[6][7][8][9] In the midst of the pandemic it received some financial support from the state.[10]

In recent years the theatre suffered several setbacks, including three bankruptcies, but always managed to get back to its feet.[1][11] Founded in 1989, the theatre has had 126 premieres[11] and 1,200,000 visitors in thirty years, winning a total of 95 awards.[1][3]
