Teatru Salesjan is a restored 19th-century community theatre in Sliema, originally built by the Salesian fathers in the early 1900s as a venue for the local community. After years of neglect, the theatre was restored and reopened as a contemporary performance venue, programming theatre, music, dance, comedy and community events.
The theatre is intimate, with a small auditorium that creates a close connection between performers and audience. It has become an important venue for Malta's independent performing arts scene, hosting both Maltese and international work. The theatre also runs community and youth programmes.
