Theatres in Estonia
Also there are three schools in Estonia which provide higher education in drama. The oldest and most academic
of them is the Higher School of Drama at the Estonian Academy of Music. The Viljandi Cultural College and the
private school 'Theatrum' at the Estonian Institute of Humanities.
Theatres provide work for about 2000 persons all over Estonia.
The future of Estonian theatre, which is fully dependent on the state purse, lies in the hands of politicians; they decide
whether to continue subsidising the theatres. At the same time, a considerable part of the audiences are made up of
young people. The fact that last year about 500 young people applied to the twenty places available at the Drama
School, speaks volumes about the popularity of theatre in Estonia.
