Anton Podbevšek Theatre (APT) was established in May 2005. As such, it is the youngest Slovene professional theatre house as well as the first professional theatre in the history of Novo mesto, a town in the south eastern region of Slovenia. APT aims to make an engaged, challenging, and contemporary theatre which would surpass the distinction between popular and elite culture. Thus, it seeks to present a wide range of theatre genres (music drama, drama and post-drama theatre, children theatre, and dance theatre), synthesising literature, dance, music, architecture, painting, and film, as well organises programme-related colloquia and discussions. The choice for the theatre's name, namely after the first Slovene avant-garde artist Anton Podbevšek, suggests APT's orientation toward research, risk-taking, reflection, and new modes of presentation.

APT was launched in 2005 with Brecht's Galileo Galilei directed by M Berger, followed by the intimate dance spectacle Sun City, KONS BE60 and the musical fairy tale Peter and the Wolf. APT also runs the Academia educational programme in theatre speech, acting, directing and dance for the Novo mesto secondary school population. In addition to its performing arts and educational activities, APT also organises an art cinema programme and runs a photographic gallery.

Technical data for the venue is available at the website http://www.antonpodbevsekteater.si/si/teater/dvorana.
