The article stub Municipal theatre begins with a dictionary description (WP:NOT#DICT). All additional description of the article subject is about what the subject is not, by comparison to other theatre forms, but the implied differences do not exist.
State theatres, Landesbühnen and municipal theatres all receive public funds from their cities and states.
