After the First World War, in addition to the professional National Theatre in Belgrade, there were also several dilettante theatre groups whose actors were high school and university students. The repertoire of these groups consisted mainly of comedies with which they toured the entire country. A group of students from Belgrade University, including Mata Milošević, Milan Dedinac, Aleksandar Janković, Milenko Živković, Draga Novaković, Dragomir Plaović and Svetozar Popović, met in the restaurant of the Moskva Hotel on September 15, 1922 and decided to found an academic theatre under the auspices of the University.
