The repertoire included pieces by Oton Tomanic, who is considered the originator of puppetry in Subotica. The theater founded its first professional ensemble during the 50's and then stood out as one of the most successful cultural institutions dealing with programs for children. When it introduced the play The Boys of St. Paul's Street into its repertoire, the puppet theater was renamed the Children's Theater-Gyermekszínház.
