Sex, Switches, and Storm Clouds
2026.06.24. — István Mohácsi: Francia rúdugrás (18+).

Street Boys, Sharper Edges
2026.07.07. — László Dés – Péter Geszti – Krisztián Grecsó: A Pál utcai fiúk (The Paul Street Boys). The classic speaks through young adults, raising the stakes and hardening the drama.

Fresh from the West End to Budapest’s Játékszín—and now Veresegyház.
Fur, Frenzy, Farce
2026.07.28. — Not Now, Darling (Ne most, Drágám!). A blizzard of love triangles, mink coats, scant attire, and airborne clothing in London’s plushest fur salon, where nonsense is high art and the mission is pure laughter.

Neoton Summer Fever
2026.08.26. — A Beautiful Summer Day (Szép nyári nap). A 1970s youth crew in a work camp near the Yugoslav border navigates love, irony, and freedom to the unstoppable anthems of Neoton—hits as party-proof as ABBA’s in Hungary, now laughed at lovingly with the hindsight of decades.
Ghosts in the Attic
2026.08.28. — The Attic (A Padlás), half-fairytale, half-musical, in two parts for ages 9–99. In a mysterious attic, humans and spirits collide, telling a story of friendship, faith, and the power of dreams—funny, tender, and family-binding.
