This show is a very simple story. A story about love: love between a boy and a girl, love for the others, love for animals... A story about how hard is to choose and about self-sacrifice. A story with humans, animals, and even angels. With laughter, with tears... a mix of comedy, drama and poetry. This three things are joint together, as in the real life...

by Dale Wasserman, based on a novel by Ken Kesey
The story, narrated by the gigantic but docile half-Native American inmate "Chief" Bromden, focuses on the antics of the rebellious Randle Patrick McMurphy, who faked insanity to serve out his prison sentence, for statutory rape, in the hospital. The head administrative nurse, Mildred Ratched, rules the ward with a mailed fist and with little medical oversight. She is assisted by her three black day-shift orderlies and her assistant doctors. McMurphy constantly antagonizes Nurse Ratched and upsets the routines, leading to constant power struggles between the inmate and the nurse. He runs a card table, captains the ward's basketball team, comments on Nurse Ratched's figure, and incites the other patients on the ward to conduct a vote on watching the World Series on television.

by Shalom Aleichem, directed by Korcsmaros Gyorgy
“A fiddler on the roof. Sounds crazy, no? But here, in our little village of Anatevka, you might say every one of us is a fiddler on the roof trying to scratch out a pleasant, simple tune without breaking his neck. It isn’t easy. You may ask ‘Why do we stay up there if it’s so dangerous?’ Well, we stay because Anatevka is our home. And how do we keep our balance? That I can tell you in one word: tradition!”
Thus begins “The Fiddler on the Roof”, the adaptation of Sholom Aleichem story “Tevye’s Daughters” – one of the most successful musicals throughout history. Since its debut in 1964 on Broadway, the play has known countless adaptations, being among the critic’s favorites.
This performance is one of the most successful at our theatre: it has participated in numerous festivals, receiving numerous awards (for best actor: Richard Balint; for best choreography: Lorant Andras) and nominations (we mention the two honorable nominations received for the UNITER GALA – the most prestigious distinctions in the theatre in Romania – for best actress /Ioana Dragos Gajdo/ and best set /Vioara Bara/).

A superb romantic comedy, “Barefoot in the Park” shows the efforts 2 young people make in order to build their life together and especially, to mix harmoniously the personalities that lead to feelings which are opposite, from time to time. Impulsive and impetuous, Corrine Bratter takes very seriously her unique role to be “Paul’s wife”, and invests all her energy into making him happy, in spite of the difficulties they face at the beginning of their life as a family. Paul, a lawyer who has just won his first 6 cents from his first trial, is a more steady and temperate. The conflict of the play arises from the clench of their two distinct personalities, which will shortly lead them to thoughts of divorce and separation. To walk or not to walk barefoot in the park represents the metaphor for the lover’s conflict.
