The history of the theatral movement began 160 years ago and came out of the wish of affirmation of the national consciousness and freedom and the huge energy of the ,,Thallia's Partisans" who always wished to accomplish their ideals of good and beauty.
The first document speaking about a theatral representation is written on the 10-th of May 1841 and is called ,,Ephemerides Five Diarum ven Convetus Lugossiensis" and it apeaks about a theatral event organized by school children.
In January and February 1847 ,,The Romanian Society of Songs and Theatre" having losif Farcas as chairman and made up of some professional actors show the first theatre
plays in Romanian. As the newspapers of that time wrote the shows in Romanian were much ,,visited". |
| In January 1846 the craftsmen of Lugo] with the soap maker Vasile Brediceanu played a satire intitled ,,The Proud Shoe Maker Wife" by luliu Neagoe. This theatral company helped a lot, in 1851, the widows and the orphans of the 1848 Revolution. The ,,Gazette of Transilvania" spoke a lot about this fonds collected in Brasov.
During the 1880's G. A. Petculescu's theatral company plays in Lugoj, having some interruptions caused by long tours in Transilvania. Its representations had a great succes.
The first decade of our century meant an important revigoration for the Romanian theatre in Lugoj, organized by the sub-company of the ,,Romanian Society for Romanian Theatre Fonds".
After the First World War many companies of amateur theatre had a fruitful activity in Lugoj encouraging and promoting
the classical Romanian theatral creations. We can mention here the fact that ,,Thallia-Romanian Theatre Company" had published some collections of short plays. In 10 years they could publish about 300 plays.
