ImProductivii is the first improvisational troupe of the Regina Maria Theatre. The project was initiated by actor Alin Stanciu, and it involves actors from both the Iosif Vulcan Troupe and the Arcadia Troupe, who will offer you an unforgettable and unrepeatable show of alternative improvisation. The even better news is that you, the audience, are part of the show. Based on the proposals of spaces, situations, foreign languages, moods, story names, etc., ImProductivii will make everything possible.

Evenings full of laughter and good cheer are announced!

A normal family is preparing for a normal reunion. The gathering has a festive air, because it's Grandpa's Day. But suddenly, things start happening that are anything but normal! Are the gates to a magical world opening or is someone playing a prank on them?

A lot of air for nothing is a nonverbal show, intended for the whole family, which aims to captivate the attention and interest of spectators of all ages, opening the doors to a colorful and personality-filled world. We have all seen at least one balloon in our lives, but, certainly, no one will look at this object the same way after seeing it A lot of air for nothing.

Some ordinary people try to put on a play based on a Romeo and Juliet-like love story. Their failed attempts are hilarious and sure to make the audience laugh.

The idea for this show came as a continuation of an older idea by actor Şerban Borda, which the Children's Theatre Cultural Association put into practice last summer, "Turn the Page". 
The idea materialized this year, in a project conceived by Andreea Costea, submitted to the Administration of the National Cultural Fund, for which co-financing was received within the I/2020 funding session for cultural projects, in the Education through Culture area.

The "School Readings Integrated in Animation Theater" project aims to support culturally, socially and ethnically disadvantaged adolescents who are preparing for the Baccalaureate exams, by creating a performative reading based on the novel "Moromeții" by Marin Preda, using innovative artistic means: the language of animation theater, multimedia, live music, dedicated workshops and Q&A sessions.

The project is aimed at adolescents from rural areas in Bihor, Satu Mare and Sălaj counties, institutionalized minors from placement centers in Bihor and Romanian students from Gyula, Hungary.

The partners of the Children's Theater Cultural Association are: Regina Maria Theater, the General Directorate of Social Assistance and Child Protection of Bihor, the University of Oradea, the Marghita Culture House, the Aleșd City Hall, the Tinca Commune Hall, the Zalău County Museum of History and Art, the Carei Cultural Center and the Nicolae Bălcescu High School in Gyula.

A high school from today. The tabloids would say it's a "girly" high school. The principal would say it's a "reputable" high school. The Depressed Girl would say it's a "fucked up" high school. The bully boy would say it's a "pretty cool" high school. In the end, it's a high school like any other. Until Denis, a new student, appears. He changes the hierarchies, becoming the girls' favorite and the boys' leader. Charismatic, rebellious and authentic, Denis quickly becomes more influential than Penteu, the head of the class. Denis is the only one who rebels, does not accept the false pressure of his parents, has the courage to face the school principal who teaches the lesson from the notebook. Denis also exerts a fascination on Agave, the school psychologist. A fascination that makes her forget everything. Even her son Penteu, who needs her. Until things go crazy.

Adapted from the novel of the same name by Jules Verne

Part of the extraordinary journeys imagined by French novelist Jules Verne, "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" has become a classic tale of underwater wonders that fascinated even before they were known to the human eye. The story of Captain Nemo and the submarine Nautilus is told from the perspective of Professor Pierre Aronnax, a renowned French biologist, who is sent on a scientific expedition to investigate an unknown sea monster. After a confrontation, it turns out that the monster is none other than the submarine Nautilus, and the harpooner Ned Land, Professor Aronnax and his assistant, the faithful Conseil, become prisoners of its enigmatic leader, Captain Nemo. Thus, for a long period of time, they share the self-imposed exile of Captain Nemo, withdrawn from the civilized world both because of the cruel disappointment caused by his peers who kidnapped his family and homeland, and animated by the desire for scientific knowledge. His belief is that true freedom is found only in the depths of the sea. The journey through the underwater paradise (not without adventures and incidents) takes the heroes through waters populated by never-before-seen creatures, among the corals of the Red Sea, under the polar ice caps of Antarctica and even past the ruins of the legendary Atlantis.

"... the director created a ballad atmosphere in which popular lyricism confronts profound drama, in which the action "flows" into a unified, tense and captivating whole. Another important element of the show is the scenography, which through the simplicity of lines and elements, through the monumentality and expressiveness of some puppets elevates the craft to the rank of art, the stage action to the level of a "moment of history"." (Eugen Ţugulea, Crisana(July 16, 1975)

Following requests from parents, an ad hoc meeting is organized at the North Pole to save the stories. This is because without stories, all the magic of Christmas disappears, and Santa Claus is left without the famous sleigh with which he brings gifts every year. To save the situation, Santa Claus and Santa Claus convince the negative characters in children's stories to do good deeds.

The show Santa's Sleigh aims to be a very brief foray into childhood stories, such as The Bear Tricked by the Fox, The Three Little Pigs and The Goat with Three Kids, to see what a good deed means and who should do it, to bring the magic of Christmas back to earth.

"The more stories you know, the richer you become"

This is the motto of actor and director Igor Lungu, who is currently working on his second project dedicated to the wonderful traditional tales of neighboring peoples. After the success of the show "Russian Folk Tales", Hungarian folklore is about to reveal to us some of the beautiful fairy tales that circulated in the Pannonian Plain.

The stories presented – "The Cowardly Wolf", "The Poor Man and the Tricked Fox", "The Bear and the Cat" and "The Boastful Bunny" – are short stories in which the pleasure of play and humor blend harmoniously with the well-drawn characters of the characters and the moral that accompanies each story.

The combination between visual, musical and clothing elements specific to Hungarian culture will send us on a fantastic journey into the imaginary and traditional local space. In the structure of these elements we will also be able to distinguish fragments in common with Romanian folklore, a fact that reconfirms the existence of multiculturalism since the time of storytelling at the tables and at the village hearth.
