Amateur Theater in Orava

In 1940, a new amateur theater stage was founded in Dolny Kubin, which was established by the Catholic Circle in the former Hotel Biheler, today's Catholic house.

The period during the Second World War wasn't very prosperous for cultural activity. After 1945, the amateurs from Dolny Kubin played theater performances and were grouped in the local branch of Matica Slovenska. The plays from authors such as Ivan Stodola, J.K. Tyla, Ondreja Antala, or Petra Karvasa were performed.

In the 1950s, the interest of amateur theater in Dolny Kubin was slowly declining, mainly thanks to the introduction of TV and to the ever changing cultural and social interests of people in the region.
