Vision

To be the premier provider of English language theater and arts workshops, classes, educational tours, theatrical performances in Bulgaria and to become a hub for English language creatives in Sofia.

Our Beginning

In 2015 while living in London, Mark Modzelewski set up Torchlight Collective, a small independent theatre company dedicated to contemporary issues and international perspectives. Mark and Gabriela Tsonkova had just finished working on a collaborative project as part of their Master’s programs. They decided to continue their collaboration after graduation which became the first show for the new company at the Bread & Roses Theatre in Clapham. The show received excellent reviews, but consistent opportunities proved difficult in the saturated theater scene of London.

Jump ahead a bit to 2017 when Mark and his family were considering moving to Bulgaria. He began looking for employment in English language theaters, but found none. After moving to Sofia later that year, this was confirmed and he made plans to register an English language theater company. In August 2019 that dream became a reality as Theater Visions Foundation was registered as an NGO for public benefit. After two years of summer children’s theater performances, the company went on hiatus for a few years, but returned to active status in 2024.

Now THEATER ViSiONS is poised and ready to take a leading role in meeting the growing demand for English language cultural arts programming in Sofia and encouraging language learners, public speakers and aspiring actors to become more confident in their skills!
