The play 'Hidden Treasure of the Submountain Castle' has become one of the biggest hits for Škrabe Theatre in 2026. Performances are scheduled for Thursday, 12 November, and Friday, 13 November 2026, starting at 19:30 at the Jastrebarsko Cultural Centre.

The Škrabe Theatre ensemble comprises more than 50 actors and actresses from Jastrebarsko, Klinča Selo, Draganić, Zagreb and Karlovac, and in this production, a group aged between 5 and 35 performs. The play is part of the 'Hommage to August Šenoa' programme, which marks 145 years since the death of August Šenoa and the publication of his novel 'Branka'. The main characters, Branka and Belizar, are named after the protagonists of that novel.
The author of the play's text is the founder and artistic director of Škrabe Theatre, Nino Škrabe, who highlighted that he found inspiration in memories and love for his homeland. The director is Klementina Škrabe, with Margareta Škrabe as assistant director. Daniela Fabijanić Pavlaković is the costume designer, while the scenography was designed by Ivana Strmečki Vučina with the help of the ensemble, who participated in painting the set.
Technical support is provided by experts such as sound engineer Leon Narančić and lighting masters Krešimir and Ivica Batušić from Lumus Rasvjete. Choreography and stage movement are signed by Klementina Škrabe with the help of Rahele Smolčić and Judita Kobetić, while the choreography of the 'submountain drmeš' was designed by Jelena Režek. The makeup artists and wardrobe assistants are Kiara Pavković, Lara Zdjelar and other ensemble members.
Special performances on Jastrebarsko City Day, 13 November, are intended for pupils of 'Ljubo Babić' Primary School. The theatre thanked the principals and staff of several primary schools and a kindergarten for their cooperation. The play is dedicated to all teachers who have taught a love of language, home and homeland, and the ensemble has also filmed a special short film in their honour, directed and edited by actor Ivan Zoretić.
The realisation of the play was supported by the Ministry of Culture and Media of the Republic of Croatia, Zagreb County, the Association of Croatian Writers, partners from Paris and the City of Jastrebarsko. The play is the 14th that Škrabe Theatre has prepared in the last 14 years, and was created in cooperation with the Jastrebarsko Cultural Centre.
