Summary/Abstract: The article examines the professional consequences of artistic encounters with Luigi Pirandello’s plays in case of Polish actors and/or directors (Wojciech Brydziński, Aleksander Węgierko, Kazimierz Junosza-Stępowski, theatre managers (Teofil Trzciński) and translators of his plays (Zofia Jachimecka). The text focuses on the performances made by the theatres in Krakow (and Warsaw) in the 1920s and 1930s. The analysis demonstrates that participating in those artistic events turned out to be a very positive artistic experience and in some cases it can be even considered fundamental for the further professional carrier.
