Altıdan Sonra Theater, it's name meaning "theater after six pm.", was founded in 1999 by a group of people mostly engineers and architects graduated from ITU( Istanbul Technical University). The members back in the university worked together in more than 20 different plays as actors, actresses, directors or set designers, within ITU Fine Arts Department Theater Group. After seven years of "university theater" experience they decided to continue within a semi-professional structure.
Altidan Sonra's philosophy is to produce original scripts and plays aiming to shape the future as a true member of the era they live in. Standing on the bridge halfway between art and science they try to have a say through theater. With each step taken throughout the years, Altidan Sonra has always strived along this ideal andevolved to be a professional thatre keeping its roots in the amateur spirit which helped them to start it all years ago.
