History edit

The theatre was created by Feliks Oraczewski, a member of the Polish Parliament (Sejm), and the actor Mateusz Witkowski. On 17 October 1781 the Kraków city authorities gave Witkowski permission to perform comedy under the condition that he pay fifty Polish zloty a month to the municipal treasury.[1][2] In 1798, Jacek Kluszewski, the starosta of Brzeg, took over the theatre and converted two of his own buildings the corner of Szczepański Square and Jagiellonian Street into its permanent home.

The theatre is regarded as Poland's leading theatre.[3] In 1997 Krystyna Meissner became the director. Her term here was difficult and the following year she left at the request of the actors.[3]

In 2016, the MICET Interactive Museum / Theatre Education Centre opened in the theatre building's 13th century cellars.
