The Stage Lights of Požega

Sažetak
In Požega, a town rich in cultural history, the theatre lights were lit long ago. The beginnings of theatrical art in the “Athens of Slavonia“ date to 1715. That year, students and professors from the Požega Gymnasium performed a play in the Jesuit monastery courtyard. According to Toma Matić, the gymnasium theatre’s repertoire from 1729 to 1772 included 58 plays. There is little information about Požega’s theatrical life until the first half of the 19th century. In 1879, the Volunteer Theater Society began its activities. At the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century, travelling theatres visited Požega. Notable visitors included Marija Ružička Strozzi and Ljerka Šram. The period of theatrical activity in Požega during the late 19th and early 20th centuries (repertoire, actors, guest performances, stage) will be researched using contemporary newspapers, gymnasium bulletins, and Franjo Ciraki’s diary entries.
