Gedikpaşa Tiyatrosu

The Gedikpaşa Tiyatrosu (Gedikpaşa Theatre), also known as the Ottoman Theater and Vartovian Theatre, was an Ottoman theatre established in Istanbul in 1866 and active until 1884. It was the first theatre in the Ottoman Turkey where plays were performed by Turkish actors, whereas previous theatres in the Ottoman Empire had only employed Western travelling theatre troupes or non-Muslim Ottoman people such as Armenians.
