Red House Theater

Red House Theater

The Red House Theater (紅樓劇場), often called the "Red Theater" or "Red Play House" in English, is a historic theater in the Ximending area of Taipei, Taiwan. Built in 1908 and designed by Japanese architect Kondo Juro, it was originally a market building but was used as a theater from 1945 onwards.

The building recently underwent an extensive renovation. The ground floor currently houses a small cafe and a display on the history of the structure, and the second floor theater shows live performances.

The theater is located at 10 Chengdu Road, Taipei. It is scheduled to be the venue of the Wikimania 2007 Party [http://wikimania2007.wikimedia.org/wiki/Party] , which will include a short film festival [http://wikimania2007.wikimedia.org/wiki/Planning/Film_Festival] .
