My dad is coming to visit me over Golden Week and he really wants to see a Kabuki performance. The only information I can find on it is for the Minamiza theater, but he’ll be gone by the time their May program starts. Does anyone know of other theaters in Kyoto? TIA!

I’m afraid that Munamiza is the only place to see kabuki in Kyoto. You can enjoy in some theaters in Osaka or Tokyo.
I found one theater in Osaka, it is not far from Kyoto.

I feel like Kabuki is a bit more Edo/Tokyo culture. Kyoto is more of a Kyogen/Noh sort of town

There are various free kyogen festivals during golden week, they are easier to appreciate than a long kabuki play.
