Rostov-on-Don Youth Theater: repertoire, troupe, address

The Academic Youth Theater (Rostov-on-Don) begins its history in the 19th century. Today, his repertoire is diverse, wide and designed not only for children and youth, but also for the adult audience.

About the theater

The first theater in Rostov appeared in the late 19th century. For him, immediately was built his own building. The scene was pretty big. The auditorium consisted of three tiers and could accommodate up to 700 spectators. When building in the upper parts of the walls (under the ceiling), amphorae were embroidered with necks down. This provided excellent acoustics.

In 1929, another theater, Working Youth, was settled in this building. He occupied this room for only a few months. Then the building was given under the newly opened Theater for Young Spectators, which was founded by the director A. Nesterov.

In the post-war years, the theater was occupied by the Comedy Theater. He experienced reorganization on several occasions. The first happened in 1957. Then the theater turned into a Youth Drama Theater named after the Lenin Komsomol. The second reorganization took place in 1964. The Drama Theater turned into a Theater for Young Spectators.

In 1983, its building underwent a large-scale reconstruction. As a result, its area has increased, new premises, make-up rooms, two new stages have appeared.

After the reconstruction, the theater opened up renewed. In his repertoire there were performances that did not fit into the format of the Theater for Young Spectators. As a result, the troupe made the public not only of our country, but also of the foreign countries.

In 1997 the Youth Theater received the honorary title of Academic. And in 2001 he experienced another reorganization, and since then is called the Youth Theater of Rostov-on-Don.

Today the troupe actively participates in festivals and goes on tour.

In each season the Youth Theater of Rostov-on-Don offers its spectators at least 20 performances. And 5-6 of them are necessarily premieres.
