Programme
The SLG Celje repertoire is diverse and challenging. The production is based on Slovenian and international dramatics, classical plays and new writing and is staged by eminent Slovenian theatre creators. A new stream of theatre directors has recently started involving innovative devised-theatre methods, treating relevant social, political, environmental and identity-related topics.
The theatre supports a young residential theatre director during creation and research, involving a guest creative team and ensuring their basic economic, artistic, and other essential conditions for creating.
Apart from the repertoire programme, SLG Celje also puts effort into addressing and including young audiences, developing new methods and forms of actively engaging young audiences. The programmes consist of various interwoven activities that align with participants' desires, needs and interests.
Organisation
The artistic team consists of approximately twenty resident actors, a dramaturg, a speech adviser and the artistic director. In all, the theatre team includes 70 employees.

Days of Comedy
The Days of Comedy festival has become a trademark of the city of Celje. It was first organised from 14 February to 6 March 1992. The festival has gradually evolved from a local event into a significant Slovenian theatrical platform, yearly gathering top theatre creators from institutional and non-institutional theatres across Slovenia. It is the largest theatre event in the Celje region and the only Slovenian festival reviewing the best comedy genres from the past year.
The plays in the competition programme compete for awards such as the year's distinguished performance, director, actress and actor, named by a professional 3-member jury. The audience also evaluates the festival performances, choosing their favourite play. The audience selects a nightly comedian of the evening. Since 2003, the audience has also been selecting their distinguished comedy.
Since 1998, the Municipality of Celje and the SLG Celje have been supporting comedy writing through a biennial call for original Slovenian comedy texts. The Gracious Comedy Quill, which includes a financial award, is given to the best text, decided by an expert jury.
