Since then, the city is actively developing not only in the scientific and production direction, but also in the cultural. Among the cultural objects the Kurgan drama theater occupies a significant place, which will be described in detail in the article.

History: how it all began

The question of the opening of the theater in Kurgan arose in 1943 at a meeting of the local regional executive committee. The decision was adopted and approved by a higher authority, since May 22, 1943 is considered the official date of birth of the Kurgan Drama Theater.

At first it was a branch of the Shadrinsky Theater. The collective played in the winter in the theater stage in the town of Shadrin, and in the summer in the open area in its native village. In 1944, a building with a stage was attached to the building of the former Kurgan women's gymnasium, and the actors finally managed to find a house. The first performance staged here was Griboedov's comedy "Woe from Wit". In 1953, the Kurgan drama theater changed its location: the troupe moved to the renovated building of the former People's House, where it is still.

Our days

Massive columns prop up the facade, together with stucco and a large number of windows, they give the building a solemn and monumental look. In the theater can simultaneously accommodate more than 500 spectators. In addition to the modern tiered ground floor, there is an amphitheater, balconies and lodges, and there is an excellent buffet.
