Summary/Abstract: Being a theatre actor requires specifi c abilities, such as the ability to function in situations of social exposure, to feel and express diff erent emotions in a short time, and feel exactly like the character they play. This profession is perceived as unique and prestigious. The aim of this research was to establish the predictors of the sense of quality of life in a group of actors. The study involved 52 professional theatre actors. The results showed a positive correlation between the sense of quality of life and dimensions of emotional intelligence, social competences, and self-esteem. Moreover, the predictor that explains the largest variance in the subjective quality of life in the group of actors is the acceptance of emotions.
