History of the theater

In 1877, the Kirov Drama Theater demonstrated its first performance to the public. Kirov saw a French comedy called "The old grows old, and the young grows."

A wooden building was built for the theatre. The Kirov drama for more than a hundred years of its existence has experienced both ups and downs. Legendary personalities shone on the stage of the theater.

In 1935, the Kirov Drama Theater moved to a new building specially built for it. A photo of this building is presented in this article. It was built according to the design of Moscow architects.

Director's Lab

Within the framework of the laboratory, several eminent directors (Egor Chernyshev, Evgeny Lantsov and Oleg Stepanov) staged mini-productions on the theater stage. The work is supervised by the deputy of Oleg Loevsky - Anna Banasyukevich. Directing labs are a fairly common occurrence in the theatrical world. However, this was the first experience for the Kirov drama. The lab is ideal for creative experiments. Directors here get the opportunity to show all theiropportunities and test your strength. Oleg Loevsky in most cases does not allow directors to choose material for productions on their own. But the laboratory in Kirov has become one of the few exceptions to this rule. Here the directors were given the freedom to choose production material. Roles in sketch performances are performed by actors from the Kirov drama. Screenings of these mini productions are free and open to the public.
