The company's repertoire is orientated mainly towards modern drama, including the works of Slovene writers. MGL was among the first theatre companies in former Yugoslavia to promote the works of playwrights such as Anouilh, Dürrenmatt, Frisch and Ionesco, and today is generally renowned as being the theatre which specialises in staging plays from outside the Anglo-Saxon domain, ie from less accessible sources, such as works by Nikolai Koljada, Per Olov Enquist, Lars Noren, Hrafnhildur Hagalín Gudmundsdóttir, Suzanne van Lohuizen, Janusz Głowacki, Mladen Popović, and others. In addition, MGL has a policy of consistently nurturing contemporary Slovene drama (Evald Flisar, Matjaž Zupančič, Milan Jesih, Matjaž Kmecl), while at the same time constantly taking on the challenge of classic Slovene playwright Ivan Cankar. During each season, which lasts from September until June, MGL stages up to eight new productions, with six being presented on the veliki oder ('large stage') and two on the mala scena ('studio theatre'). The theatre company tours frequently throughout Slovenia, and has also recently begun appearing abroad (the Czech Republic, Austria, Croatia and Serbia). In addition to Slovene directors, MGL also engages directors from other countries, including Great Britain, Poland, Croatia, Iceland, Bulgaria, Serbia and Macedonia.
Since 1958 an independent publishing service has functioned within MGL, specialising in the production of exclusively theatre-related literature, including memoirs, theoretical and historical works, and reference books. At present MGL Library Book Collection has a catalogue of over 150 titles; each year at least two new books are added.
Ljubljana City Theatre is supported by Ministry of Culture and the Ljubljana Urban Municipality and is a member of the Informal European Theatre Meeting (IETM).
