Summary/Abstract: In 1976 in Košice a new, non professional theatre was originated. In the then new House of Culture built and run by the immense steel factory (nowadays belonging to the concern of the U.S. Steel), three professional creative authors who had been due to various reasons looking for the possibility to put themselves into praxis outside the professional theatres, were given the room for their self-realisation. The theatrical advisor and dramatist Štefan Oľha having been harassed due to his social involvement during the so called Czechoslovak Spring in 1968-69, then an extraordinarily eruptive director Jozef Pražmári, and a scenographer Štefan Hudák. Together with a group of young enthusiastic secondary school and university students, they formed a team (but within a troop were also some actors from the professional theatres involved), they produced a series of stagings which have had a rather significant impact on the whole theatrical creation within the Slovak contingency.
