Abstract

The aim of the article is to present the role of theatrical experiences in the life of Karol Wojtyła. These experiences are presented against the background of the important position of the theatre in the school curriculum in Poland in the interwar period. After regaining independence, this theatre was to serve the patriotic upbringing of children and youth, and awaken in them a deeper interest in art. Wojtyła continued his active participation in the school theatre during his studies, and then during the war in the underground  theatre of occupation. Interest in the theatre was also expressed in the dramatic works of Karol Wojtyła. The text shows the constant presence of theatrical art in the life and thoughts of John Paul II.
