Children's Theatre Dubrava was established in 1955 by Mladen Širola. ''Dugonja, Trbonja and Vidonja'' was the first play to be premiered at the theatre on 12 December 1955 based on Širola's text and direction. From its beginnings the theatre has been led by the enthusiasm of its founders and their successors. It gathers children from Zagreb and its surrounding area of the age 4 and above in drama, music and dancing lessons. Attendants are given lessons in rhythmics, classical ballet, harmonica, piano and tambura playing, while at the same time they take part in the activities of acting and theatre studio. Many famous names of Croatian children's theatre contributed to the theatre's activities: Mladen Širola, Borislav Mrkšić, Rudolf Zubčić, Boris Kovačević, Franka Perković and many other.

Children's Theatre Dubrava has become part of Dubrava Open University in 1976.
