We started Metro al Madina in the heart of Beirut
Who we are
We are an independent cultural theater hub in Beirut. Our performing arts venue caters to a wide range of activities including musicals, cabaret, theater, music performances, concerts, stand-up comedy, a performing arts school and bar/clubbing nights.
Our mission is to create a progressive environment where everyone, from audiences to artists, feel valued, inspired, safe, and free, while offering enjoyable, accessible and affordable quality art and entertainment.
Since 2012, Metro al Madina has produced more than 80 in-house cabaret shows, musicals, theater plays, and music albums. Our main cabaret show, The Hishik Bishik Show, has been running for more than 10 years. In addition, Metro hosts and co-produces shows featuring local, regional and international artists.
