National Theater
Established in 1950, the National Theater has four resident companies -- the National Drama Company, the National Changgeuk Company, the National Dance Company, and the National Orchestra. Other than traditional performances, they also have international performances (the musical Cats, for example, played there). There is a main theater, a smaller space, a small studio for experimental performances, and an outdoor stage (with free informal performances, mostly in the summer).
