According to the chroniclers of this period, amateur theatrical productions were more popular in Slovenia in the middle of the twentieth century than in any other country at the time. Yet, as most activities shortly after the war, theatre also was exposed to the demands and pressures of politics. These were particularly strong in the first five years after World War II. However, already in the early 1950's, professional criteria in the selection of repertoire and the production of individual plays prevailed over the demands of the communist ideologists. When selecting their repertoires, the amateur theatres decided mainly in favour of works by Slovene authors.

Amaterska gledališka dejavnost sredi tega stoletja je bila po mnenju tedanjih kronistov na Slovenskem tako množična kot le v redko kateri deželi. Toda ta dejavnost je bila vedno pod pritiski političnih zahtev. V največji meri to velja za prvih pet let po 2. svetovni vojni, toda že v začetku petdesetih let so strokovni kriteriji pri izbiri repertoarja in študiju posameznih iger prevladali nad ideološkimi zahtevami komunističnih ideologov. Pri izbiri repertoarja so amaterski odri večinoma posegali po delih slovenskih avtorjev.
