You can find out about Warsaw's thriving arts scene in the English-language Warsaw Insider or What's Up, both of which are available at most major hotels. If you read Polish, the monthly IKS (Informator Kulturalny Stolicy) and Activist and the daily Gazeta Wyborcza have the best listings. Tickets for most performances are inexpensive, but if you want to spend even less, most theaters sell general-admission tickets—wej?ciówki—for a few z?oty immediately before the performance. Wej?ciówki are often available for performances for which all standard tickets have been sold.

Perhaps the most daring and creative avant-garde scene is at Teatr Rozmaitości—now better known as "TR Warszawa." It stages mostly contemporary Polish and international plays, sometimes contemporary interpretations of classic plays, often with English subtitles. TR Warszawa attracts the most renowned Polish theatre directors (Grzegorz Jarzyna, Krystian Lupa, Krzysztof Warlikowski) and a troupe of great actors.
