Young Marko Kropyvnytskyi secretly skipped work to participate in rehearsals and performances of the amateur theater. The atmosphere of the office was stifling for him. Due to the theater he befriended Tobilevych brothers. Together, they had gone a long way towards the creation of the professional theatre. Due to the theater, Kropyvnytskyi met his first wife Oleksandra.
