A method to obtain the boundary states and the crosscap states explicitly in various conformal field theories, is presented. This makes it possible to construct and analyse open string theories in several closed string backgrounds. We discuss the construction of such theories in the case of the backgrounds corresponding to the conformal field theories with SU(2) current algebra symmetry.
