The prominent figures that developed their artistic abilities during their studies at the seminary and played an important role in the development of the Ukrainian professional theater in Galicia are named. Since its establishment in 1873 and till the start of the democratic revolution in the Austrian Empire in 1848, the Greek-Catholic Seminary in Lviv appeared to be at the core of shaping and developing of the artistic tendencies among the nationally conscious Ukrainian youth. Additionally, it happened to be an epicenter of the National Revival, a home for the “Ruthenian Triad” and, in the course of time, the alma mater of the Ukrainian dramaturgy. The dramatic arts’ inception found its beginning in 1874 when F. Bogomolets’ play in Polish was put on a performance. Under the guidance of A. Angelovich, the seminarists have been working on learning Ukrainian language, exploring songs and rites. Meanwhile, until 1797, they have been leading a dynamic theatrical life in the Seminary, the key manifestation of which may be found in various scenes staged throughout the holy tides. After the lull, which lasted for more than three decades, the Greek Catholic Theological Seminary in Lviv revived its performances in 1829. Despite the difficult livelihood and the fact, that the cholera epidemic has arisen in Galicia exactly at a time, even despite the strict disciplinary procedures imposed by the leadership, i. a. the rector S. Telikhovskiy, the seminarians continued reciting the improvised dialogues clandestinely, while recording and examining folk, translating and writing plays. Being in the middle of the European history along with the uprising of 1848, christened as the “Spring of Nations”, for the first time the Seminary’s students have performed a play in Ukrainian language, namely – Ruthenian Wedding by J. Lozynskiy. That same year in Kolomyia I. Ozarkevych performed his “Girl To Be Married, or Endearment Cannot Be Forced”, originally based on I. Kotlyarevskiy’s play “Natalka Poltavka”. Alas, there were sixteen more difficult years prior to establishment of the first Ukrainian professional theater in Galicia. Yet, the nationally oriented effort by rectors A. Angelovich and G. Yakhimovich contributed to raising a few generations involved in the emergence, as well as further promotion of the Ukrainian theater in Galicia.
