The article presents episodes from the history of the theatre building, its location and attempts at organising theatre management in Vilnius in 1824–1832, a time when the poet Juliusz Słowacki was known to sit in the audience. Rivalry and feuds between the actors prohibited instituting an effective theatre management for many years, even though Projekt urządzenia Wileńskiego Teatru [“A Project of Organising the Vilnius Theatre”] had been in place since 1823. Some complications relating to the organisation of theatre seasons in Vilnius had their origins in the unpaid debt of a former theatre entrepreneur, Maciej Każyński. Due to the state of disrepair of the original building, it was decided to move the stage to the city hall.
