Summary/Abstract: The phenomenon of community theatre emerged on the Slovak theatre scene approximately in the 1990s. The first attempts were connected with art therapy. Community theatre, in the sense of working with the community, for the community and to the benefit of the community, which works with minorities and marginalized individuals, gradually began to professionalize itself. Since then it has gone through complicated development and produced different offshoots. At present there are professional ensembles focusing on stage production, semi professional ensembles and ensembles which use theatre techniques for therapeutic rather than aesthetic purposes. The author of this study deals with the gradual differentiation and developmental metamorphoses of community theatre.
