[1] Specifically, according to literary historian Tomo Matić, the first play in Požega was performed on 27 August 1715.

[2][3][4] The name of the play was not recorded, but it is written that the stage was set under a tent canvas in the courtyard of the Jesuit monastery.

It laid the foundations for the first professional theater operating in Požega from 1948 to 1957,[5][4] which consolidated on March 10, 1995.

Požega City Theater officially opened with a play called Gle kako dan lijepo počinje ("Look how the day starts nicely") directed by Ivica Plovanić.

[3] In the past few years, Požega has produced as many as five young actors who graduated from the Academy of Dramatic Arts in Zagreb.
