The Arcadia troupe of the Regina Maria Theater is preparing to welcome the winter holidays with a new premiere and a series of workshops for the whole family!
The Arcadia troupe announces the second premiere of the 2024/2025 season, "The Selfish Giant" based on the story by Oscar Wilde, directed by Ciprian Huțanu, which will be performed on Saturday, December 14, in two performances, at 11:00 AM and 5:00 PM.
Dr. Stockmann, the idealistic doctor of a spa resort in a generic town, makes a shocking discovery: the springs that attract thousands of tourists to his town are not curative, but dangerous to health. It's just that the "heart that pumps life itself" in this town brings both income and advantages for all members of the social pyramid. Stockmann thus embarks on a solitary fight to expose the truth in a world where economic interests prevail and the community often remains indifferent.
The "Iosif Vulcan" troupe of the Regina Maria Theater in Oradea presents on Sunday, November 24, 2024, from 7:00 PM, at the Great Hall, the premiere of the show "An Enemy of the People", adaptation by Thomas Ostermeier and Florian Borchmeyer after Henrik Ibsen, directed by Radu Iacoban.
The cast consists of: Alina Leonte (Katharina Stockmann), Richard Balint (Peter Stockmann), Răzvan Vicoveanu (Thomas Stockmann), Gabriela Codrea (Nina Aslaksen), Elvira Rîmbu (Marta Kill), Alin Stanciu (Hovstad) and Tudor Manea (Billing).
The Regina Maria Theatre will participate with the show "The Son" by Florian Zeller, directed by Bobi Pricop, at the XXXIII edition of the Prapremier Festival in Bydgoszcz, Poland. The team will be in Poland from November 8-11, and the performance will take place on November 10, on the stage of the Polish Theatre in Bydgoszcz.

A couple mourns their four-year-old son who died in a stupid accident: the dog ran into the street, a young man tries to avoid it and kills the child who had run after the dog. No one is to blame. It happens. Fate. Eight months after the accident, the parents have not recovered. Each reacts differently. They become estranged. The wife almost cultivates her pain and refuses to communicate with her husband, her sister and mother, her friends who, even they, do not know how to react, she becomes aggressive, accuses everyone of not understanding her pain. The husband tries group therapy, rejected sine die by his wife and has a small affair. In the end, they decide to sell the house (the wife's idea). She tries, not to start all over again, but at least to learn to live again.
The Regina Maria Theater, in partnership with the Eclectica Cultural Association and with the support of Transilvania Film and TIFF, invites you on November 2 to the Transilvania Hall for a unique event – “Eclectic Halloween”. The program, which will take place throughout the day, includes interactive and creative activities for children, and in the evening brings a dash of adrenaline with a horror film screening dedicated to adults.
The Arcadia troupe of the Regina Maria Theatre announces a story season, in which they will stage shows by some of the most appreciated animation theatre directors in the country of the moment. The first premiere brings back to the stage a sensitive, playful story, which has the gift of returning us to cardinal human values: "A ray of sunshine" by Al.T. Popescu, directed by Toma Hogea.
The Regina Maria Theater for the third time in the last four years in the FNT program: "Category B Goddesses" on the Teatrelli stage and "Rabbit Hole" on the Studio Hall stage of the "IL Caragiale" National Theater in Bucharest, within the 34th edition of the National Theater Festival (FNT).
"A ray of sunshine", a text written by Al.T. Popescu, is a story that is mainly addressed to children (preschoolers and young schoolchildren). It is a story full of candor, lyricism, emotion, and sometimes suspense, having as its fundamental theme: FRIENDSHIP!
The theme of FRIENDSHIP is seconded, in our case, by the theme of SACRIFICE (for fellow human beings, even more so for a friend) in a natural way, with sensitivity, candor, playfulness, humor and the joy of the game, everything being well supported by the ACTORS dedicated to the stage, the character, the audience. Any beautiful story transposed on stage with puppets, with sensitive lyrics, with original music, with emotion and color is the "gift" of the beginning of the season, offered by the ARCADIA Troupe to every child who crosses the threshold of the "Regina Maria" Theater.

Like the other eight previous editions, the ninth PHYTO, that is, to Oradea International Theatre Festival, held between June 1-9, organized by the Theatre Queen Mary, had two sections. One with a competitive character, the second reserved for guest performances.
The first section, the one in which a significant number of theaters have entered productions in the competition, intends to preserve the connection with tradition. More precisely, with Short Theatre Week, a festival created in 1976, thanks to the collaboration between the management of the Oradea State Theatre at the time and that of the magazine Family.
The 9th edition of the Oradea International Theatre Festival has come to an end after 9 intense days of theatre! We enjoyed an excellent and rich selection of performances, concerts, related cultural events and beautiful artistic encounters.
