History of the National Theater of Uzice

Before the National Theater began its work, the Theater Society was founded in 1856, which was housed in the Kaljevic House, which was a distinguished president of the District Court and a merchant, and the first play was performed on February 15, 1862.

The Regional National Theater was founded in 1945, and the first premiere was less than a month after its founding. The theater was first located in Sokolski dom, and then moved to Filkin's cinema in the main city street in 1948. In 1967, the theater received a new building on the reconstructed Partisan Square, which is the main city square.
