Slobodan Stefanovic

Being a prominent leading actor on the Serbian musical stage, no wonder Slobodan Stefanovic can be seen dancing, singing, acting - a shining star in the artistic heaven of his native country. Slobodan was born on August 21, 1977 in the city of Novi Sad. He attended a reputable grammar school in Sremski Karlovci, after which he enrolled in the Drama & Art Academy, under Professor Vida Ognjenovic.

His first movie "She's in Love with Red Star" was shot in 2000, after which he started acting in the Belgrade National Theater in "Mileva Einstein". Around that time, the Terazije Theatre was auditioning for new members and more than two hundred young actors applied. Slobodan successfully passed the audition and became a member of the new young acting crew, which in the history of this theatre is known by the nickname "Misha's babies", led by a firm hand of an experienced director Mihajlo Vukobratovic. Slobodan's career in this theater started in "Grease". In 2003 he moved from Novi Sad to Belgrade, since the demand for him was getting bigger and bigger in the Terazije Theatre. Always striving for perfection and being driven to constantly improve himself, in 2009 Slobodan attended the oldest musical school in the USA, "Jacob's Pillow", at the invitation of the director Chat Walker.
