TY - JOUR TI - On the Need of the Theatre Policy and Barriers to the Theatre Development in Poland AU - Szulborska-Łukaszewicz, Joanna TI - On the Need of the Theatre Policy and Barriers to the Theatre Development in Poland AB - The article is concerned with the system of organising theatre life in Poland and the most important problems of the community, organizations and institutions within the theatre sphere. Such problems result from, among others, the current formal and legal regulations in Poland. In context of the voices appearing increasingly more often within the public debate that demand a special theatre law and formulation of a theatre policy at the central level, while also referring to the branch debate that took place in March 2024 at the Jan Kochanowski Theatre in Opole, the author wonders what determines the theatre’s success. Whether theatre policy at the central level is really necessary? Will the Act on Theatres solve the problems? Can the Act on Theatre be a solution to the problems, and if so, which ones?
