Abstract

This article presents episodes from the history of the theater building, its location and attempts at organising theater management in Vilnius in 1824–1832, a time when the poet Juliusz Słowacki was known to sit in the audience. Rivalry and feuds between the actors prohibited instituting an effective theater management for many years, even though Projekt urządzenia Wileńskiego Teatru [“A Project of Organising the Vilnius Theater”] had been in place since 1823. Some complications relating to the organisation of theater seasons in Vilnius had their origins in the unpaid debt of a former theater entrepreneur, Maciej Każyński. Due to the state of disrepair of the original building, it was decided to move the stage to the city hall
