The formal theatre society VICENA was formed in 1896 from the original society Volné sdružení divadelních ochotníků - Free Association of Amateur Theatre Performances, in memory of the doyen of theatre artists from Ústí (or as it is said in the dialect, “Oustí“), Hynek Vicena (1819-1911). Currently, VICENA is a registered theatre society with almost fifty members and extensive range of activities. In their more than a century long history, VICENA has staged more than 1,300 performances, including over 500 premieres. The society regularly participates in both competitive and non-competitive showcases and festivals. Currently, the theatre society performs comedies by both Czech and international playwrights. In the last decade, they staged for example the productions of Naši naši furianti (Our Our Swaggers), Jak důležité je mít Filipa (How Important It Is To Be Ernest) or Se starci na chmelu (Of Green Gold).
