At the beginning of the 20th century, the theater meant everything: it was a place where people were attracted like a magnet, they came for fun and art, to meet and socialize, to find out news and to get an education.

The idea of creating a theater in Romanian was supported especially by the deputies of the Moldovan Bloc, and by other intellectuals: P. Erhan, V. Cijevski, I. Buzdugan, A. Crihan, V. Gafencu, N. Bosie-Codreanu, N. Bivol, E. Sinicliu, Gh. Buruiană, E. Alistar and T. Ioncu.

Theater is an art of emotions and intelligence that has the power to awaken spirits and unite hearts ", he said.
