I could write a whole book about the 2 years with Honza Kotva in the communist army, but I will try to limit it to only the most memorable instances. Once a year the army had a regional and national competition in arts between different army units. Kotva was very active in putting together performances and rehearsals in theatrical areas. He was able, once in a while on Sunday afternoon, to reserve a hall in the old Tabor’s theater, put together small performances, and also open it up to public dancing.
