Original musical evenings

Non-profit amateur theatre association in Belgrade
Kuraž
We bring actors, vocalists, musicians and theatre lovers together to create community-led performances for young audiences and Belgrade's local cultural scene.
About the association
Theatre as a shared civic space
Kuraž is an udruženje based in Belgrade: a Serbian non-profit citizens' association formed by performers, directors, vocalists, musicians and production volunteers. Our work is built around rehearsals, workshops, staged readings, small-format performances and musical theatre projects.
We focus on accessible theatre for young people, international residents and the local Belgrade community. Members join us from different backgrounds, but the shared standard is serious rehearsal discipline, care for the ensemble and a belief that theatre should make people feel less alone.

Ongoing cultural work
What we do through the year
Kuraž is not a commercial production company. We are a cultural association that keeps a steady rhythm of rehearsals, collaborative projects and community events.
Serbian drama readings
Table readings and staged scenes from contemporary and classic Serbian plays, created as a bridge into the local theatre language.
Workshops and holidays
Open rehearsals, voice labs, movement sessions and informal cultural gatherings for young performers and community guests.
Musical theatre training
Regular vocal coaching, acting work and ensemble practice led by experienced directors, coaches and production organisers.
Upcoming amateur production
RENT in Belgrade, planned for autumn 2026
Our next major community project is an amateur production of Jonathan Larson's RENT, planned for Belgrade in autumn 2026. We are now gathering the team and preparing the organisational process for a future production.
The project grows naturally out of our ensemble's interests: musical theatre, youth culture, chosen family and stories that speak openly about vulnerability, care and community.
- Amateur, non-profit presentation
- Community ensemble with vocal coaching
- Belgrade venue, limited local run
- Open calls for singers, actors and backstage volunteers
People
A serious amateur ensemble
Our team combines amateur performers with experienced creative leads: directors, vocal coaches, musicians, movement collaborators and organisers who keep the work structured and accountable.
Creative direction
Directors and dramaturgy collaborators guide rehearsals, scene work and the overall community programme.
Voice and music
A vocal coach and music leads support ensemble singing, audition preparation and musical-theatre technique.
Production volunteers
Members coordinate venues, communications, fundraising, rehearsal schedules, costumes and front-of-house needs.
Join the community
Take part in what we are making next
We are always happy to meet people who want to sing, act, move, play music, help backstage, organise events or simply follow what is happening in the room. Some members come with stage experience; others join because they want a careful place to learn.
Write to us if you would like to hear about open rehearsals, workshops, auditions, volunteer calls or the nearest informal showings. We keep the atmosphere welcoming, but the work itself is focused and regular.
