As a cultural capital, Beijing provides high-quality cultural life for the ordinary people. Opera and drama are staged almost every day in the capital's theaters. The surprising change is that in addition to many large theaters, there are also many small theaters, and cultural and creative parks in hutongs, which have their own characteristics with affordable tickets and immersive performances. They are derived from old factories, old dwellings, and the former site of the royal palace.

Next to the Xuanwumen subway, there is an old courtyard house in the Chaoshou Hutong, which later became the Beijing Film Equipment Factory. Industry development, equipment upgrading let here once depressed. Until November 19, 2009, this old courtyard house was reborn as a new identity of "Star Theatres" and became the representative of Beijing small theater cultural industry park. In the past 13 years, more than 10,000 performances have been held in this space of only 5000 square meters, with a cumulative audience of nearly 4 million people. More than 50 original plays have been launched, and over 1,000 acting talents have been trained...

Behind the success of Star Theatres, it relies on the operation concept that provides a opportunity for the people to watch the play at any time.

The average low ticket price of about 100 yuan not only makes the surrounding people fall in love with the theater village at their doorstep, but also attracts the attention of the Xicheng district government. Around 2013, the performances of cultural benefit for the people at the city and district levels gradually began to be implemented in the Star Theatres , which has also become one of the small theater clusters supported by the Xicheng District.

In order to encourage the original force, Star Theatres has signed cooperation agreements with many art colleges and universities. On the one hand, Star Theatres  has become a bridge for young people from school to society, providing opportunities for them to realize their artistic ideals. On the other hand, these young people have gradually grown into the backbone of the Star Theatres, injecting the driving force into the drama production.
