History

The Romanian socialist authorities ordered the construction of the theatre, which led to the demolition of the Franciscan church and monastery in 1971. In return, the authorities allowed the Roman Catholic Archdiocese to start building the parish church of St. Imre in Liberty Street. The stained-glass windows of the Church of the Brothers can be seen in the church that was built.

The theatre opened in 1973. Its more modern style means it does not blend into the town centre. The theatre is bilingual, the Hungarian company is called the Tompa Miklós Company and the Romanian company is called the Liviu Rebreanu Company.
