Big things can happen in small towns.
Pro Teatru is the independent cultural association of Zalău. We produce theatre, run the Sezonul Artiștilor festival and turned an abandoned mill into a cultural centre.

WHAT WE DO
An abandoned mill became a cultural centre.
In 2022 we were granted the free use of a former mill on Strada Morii for 15 years: a 1,500 m² building and one hectare of land. Step by step, we built the theatre, the gallery, the studio and the summer stage that Zalău never had.
WHAT ARTISTS SAY
“All I can do is applaud your initiative. It's a big deal!”
“When I looked at the photos I said: Extraordinary! You can always make reality look cooler than it is, but this reality is wow. What an incredible place!”
“It's an absolutely wonderful project. I've fallen in love with it!”
“I'm really curious to see what you do next, because what you've done so far has turned out excellent!”
3.5% of your income tax keeps the Mill open.
Redirecting it costs you nothing. Fill in Form 230 by 25 May and the money goes to Pro Teatru instead of staying in the state budget. (For Romanian taxpayers.)
