Înainte de cel de-a doilea război mondial, a jucat în mai multe din teatrele particulare care existau în capitală („Teatrul nostru”, „Victoria”, „Atlantic”, Teatrul Comedia) alături de mulţi dintre marii actori ai timpului: Ronald Bulfinski, George Calboreanu, Nicolae Bălţăţeanu, Sonia Cluceru şi alţii. Întors de pe „frontul de răsărit”, a mai jucat, un timp, în capitală, apoi trei ani la Reşiţa, doi ani la Turda, şi din anul 1955 la Oradea, unde a jucat rolul Tipătescu în spectacolul inaugural al secţiei române (acum Trupa „Iosif Vulcan”), şi în anii următori până la pensionare, în 1968. Creatorul unor compoziţii scenice interesante, ca apariţii fizice şi substanţă, s-a dovedit şi un sensibil mânuitor al condeiului, scriind, jucând şi, uneori, regizând piese pentru copii: „POVESTE DIN PĂDUREA AURIE”, „Floare de nu-mă-uita”, „Coborând dintr-o poveste” – jucate la Oradea şi în alte teatre din ţară.

The young Florin Antoniu came to the State Theatre of Oradea in 1998 – with the idea of putting into practice both his knowledge acquired in school and the talent of the Oradea troupe. However, something did not „work out”: perhaps a mismatch between his projects and the troupe’s expectations. The option for the text „Exerciții de dicție pentru câinii fără stămăt” (diction exercises for stray dogs) by the young Dan Mihu (awarded the 2nd Prize of the Dramaturgy Competition organized by the Short Theatre Week festival, Oradea, 9th edition, 1993 – for the short play „Infernul actelor formale”) was, in principle, respectable. The show – also signed as a set designer, staged in the Studio hall, did not enjoy much success, proof of which is that it only had three performances. It was not seen by critics, so it did not benefit from any analysis, and was quickly forgotten.

A renowned pedagogue, a distinguished man of culture, director Zoe Anghel Stanca was an eminent theater teacher, with numerous important actors of the Romanian stage being her students and, at the same time, good friends. Several of her former students also worked in Oradea. This being the case, it is natural to encounter her name, especially after retirement, on the posters of numerous theaters: Braşov, Târgu Mureş, Arad, Turda, Cluj-Napoca, Bacău, Iaşi, Botoşani, Galaţi, etc.

Born in other lands, after graduation he returned to the city where he had studied at the "Em. Gojdu" High School, in Oradea, with an immense appetite for work, which did not leave him until the unfortunate stroke that put him on the verge of death. As if by premonition, he gathered in his creative file the direction of numerous shows (even five in one season), not only in Oradea, where he debuted, but also in Arad or the National Theater in Târgu-Mureş, where he was also a director (at both theaters), but in almost all the theaters in the country that requested him, especially to stage plays from the national dramaturgy, which some directors refused. For some – "The Book of Ioviţă" by Paul Everac from Oradea or "Horia" by Mihail Davidoglu from Arad – he received distinctions at national festivals and for most of them, the appreciation of specialized critics. Loving and appreciating actors, he always put them at the center of his directorial concerns, through them materializing his ideas about theater and life. (Presentation by Eugen Ţugulea)

After a five-year hiatus at the Sibiu Theatre, she came to Oradea, requested by director Valeriu Moisescu. An actress full of strength and dynamism, likeable and communicative, she played many important roles in the three seasons spent in Oradea (Ada – "Passacaglia" by Titus Popovici, Puck – "A Midsummer Night's Dream" by William Shakespeare, Liubov Iarovaia from the play of the same name by K. Treniov or Lizzy Curry from "The Man Who Brings Rain" by N. Richard Nash, marrying the painter Victor Cupşa, she left the country, and her career ended (at least in the country!).

Actress

An actress with a pleasant physique, without specialized studies, she proved useful in smaller, decorative roles, and in Ana in "Tache, Ianke și Cadâr" by VIPopa or Simona Munteanu in "Nota zero la purtare" by V.Stoenescu and O.Sava, she demonstrated qualities that, if exploited, could have ensured a more substantial use for her. It seems that this did not happen in Cluj-Napoca, where she moved with her husband, after a three-year activity at the Oradea Theater.

Coming from Arad, in 1958, although he spent a short time in Oradea, he played several important roles (Vanea in "Uncle Vanea" by A.P. Chekhov, the Professor in "Passacaglia" by Titus Popovici, Mitică Ionescu in "The Mad Lamb" by Aurel Baranga), proving his vocation as an important actor, in any troupe. Personal reasons... led him to change the collective, leaving for the National Theatre of Cluj-Napoca, where he became, there too, a key member of the collective. But personal problems still did not leave him.

She began her career on the stage of the National Theatre in Cluj-Napoca, where she achieved her first successes with roles in "The Glass of Water" by Eugèn Scribe or "The Gaiţele" by Al. Kiriţescu, and others. She soon became the star of the Cluj troupe. After marrying Vladimir Jurăscu, she moved to Oradea. Here she played many important roles (Alta in "Act veneţian" by Camil Petrescu, Dorine in "Tartuffe" by Molière, Maria Panait in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" by Tudor Muşatescu, etc.). Endowed with a pleasant physique and a slight "s" that gave her a certain personal charm, she became a basic actress in the collective. After the 1967/1968 season, she moved, together with her husband, to the National Theatre in Timişoara, where she played until her retirement.

A student of the great actress Dina Cocea, a colleague, among others, of Gheorghe Dinică, Marin Moraru and Bihorian Ion Martin (from Sântandrei), he came, after his assignment, to the theater in his hometown, which he only left for three months until his retirement, in an attempt to escape to Braşov.

Living under the sign "this can only happen to him", he always overcame adversities, slowly and surely becoming one of the basic people of the collective. The over two hundred roles, most of them main ones, diverse in genre and scope, formed a mature, serious, profound actor. A good reciter, he passed, as a passenger, like most "from the province", also by Buftea, and he proved to be a good leader of the "Iosif Vulcan" troupe, when, for three years, he was its director.

Play in three acts by N.Richard Nash
Translation: Tudor Staicu and Mircea Alexandrescu

Romantic and full of meaning, the play "The Rainmaker" has been repeatedly adapted for stage and film, demonstrating people's need to believe in the power of a dream. The play's action is set on the Curry family farm in a small town in the western United States of America, during the Great Depression. For too long, drought has been devastating crops and, at the same time, people's souls; worries come to the fore more sharply under these conditions, each person's patience and character are put to the test. As a backdrop to the conflict, the drought takes on symbolic dimensions. A wise, loving father and two brothers built on antagonistic coordinates (Noah - practical, unimaginative and Jim - dreamy, gentle, childish) are concerned about the fate of their daughter, respectively their sister, Lizzie who, at 27, risks remaining an old maid. Strong-willed, wise and hardworking, Lizzie is neither very beautiful nor attractive, a fact she is painfully aware of. The event that changes the monotonous rhythm of their existence is the arrival of Bill Starbuck, a symbolic character who promises to bring them rain in exchange for 100 dollars. Charlatan? Hope seller? The fact is that everyone believes in him and his power. His appearance triggers a series of events that make Lizzie look at herself in a new light. Indeed, the rain arrives and, with it, love. Although she does not follow him, Lizzie will take over from Bill the momentum and confidence in life.
