Theater "Fest", Mytischi: address, repertoire, theater troupe, photos and reviews

In 2013, the successful theater "The Fast" in the Moscow region celebrated its 25th anniversary. In this theater professional actors and talented directors delight the audience with beautiful performances.

Mytishchi Theater of Drama and Comedy "Fest"

Producers of performances try to keep the repertoire constantly expanding. For example, from February 10, 2017 the premiere of the production of "Cyrano de Bergerac" will start, which will be honored artist of the Russian Federation Dmitry Polyansky. Most of the premieres on the stage of the theater pass with great success, and for sure this premiere will not be an exception.

In the theater, the artistic director is Igor Shapovalov, and the director is Igor Sokolov. Both are talented people. Director of the theater, like a real gray cardinal: on the stage is not visible, but has a direct relationship to the success of the institution.

Founding of the theater "Fest"

Initially, the theater existed as a student agitation circle of the Forestry Technical University. But in 1988 the theater "The Best" (Mytischi) by fate's will gets the status of a professional. Its troupe received its premises after the end of "Splinters" in the mid-90s. The abandoned place, where the "Rodina" cinema was previously located, became home to the then young Festovites - hot and confident in their pursuit of theatrical creative destiny.

Every season the theater now performs more than 20 performances in Mytishchi. There is a well-known theater company outside the Moscow region. She goes on long tours all over Russia, to the Baltic countries, Germany, Belarus, Israel and others.

The theater always receives tangible support from the administration of the Mytishchi Municipal Committee.

The audience responds with warmth and joyful excitement about performances with the participation of their favorite artists. Even when the building of the theater burnt down, people continued to watch their favorite plays from the stage of the city house of culture.

The city authorities tried as quickly as possible to restore the comfortable scene and the necessary for the artists dressing rooms. That is, "fire, water and copper pipes" are familiar to theater artists firsthand.

Servants of Melpomene

Without the artistic director of the exceptional resilience and talent of Igor Shapovalov, such a remarkable theater would not exist. It was he who put forward the idea in 1984 to become a creative collective and independently put works of high literary style on the stage.

All of the 14 people on his student team were enrolled in the faculty of acting in 1990 after the graduation from the Forestry Technical University for the same course - to the experienced filmmaker and teacher Semyon Barkan.

And in the 95th the united, professionally prepared theater company was already released. And under the guidance of his faithful and spirit-strong curator, Igor Shapovalov, they began their hard creative path and even received a building that the municipal authorities restored and prepared for the needs of the theatrical art. It happened just after one of the performances was attended by the head of the Mytishchi district - Anatoly Astrakhov.

When celebrated the 25th anniversary of the famous Moscow "Fest" (theater, Mytishchi), his poster contained all the most significant for the team production, starting with the best debut. The best theatrical performances, so beloved by the audience, is "Under the sky of Paris", which is one of the oldest in the repertory of the troupe, "Thought", staged according to the play of M. Bulgakov.

In 2015, the premiere of the performance "Among the guests in one shirt" was held according to D. Harms. This work is also a matter of team pride. After all, many modern theatergoers tend to have in their repertoire at least one performance based on this unique author. Not only the art director himself, but in general the whole troupe is very fond of modern dramatic art, and classical. That is why the theater-lovers with full respect can be called servants of the Muse of the Melpomene.

Constant troupe

Now the theater has 28 actors. The basis of the troupe was formed by the same 14 desperate graduates of the Forestry Institute, who managed to hold together, despite all the difficulties of the way. All these people like to go on stage and make the audience happy with their game.

There are also young creative people in the troupe. Young actors are the future of the institution, since the "Fest" theater is not going to slow down the speed of progress, to development. Most likely, he will only accumulate experience in the future and find new talented performers.

About 30 productions are an initiative of young talents. Young actor Philip Yefimov received a scholarship from the city authorities for a new youth project "SashBash. Eternal post "based on the work in the poet's poet Alexander Nikolayevich Bashlachev. F. Efimov received a personal scholarship from the head of Mytishchi district. The second young fellowship was Dmitry Skotnikov for staging a remarkable play "Kiss of power" based on the historical play by American playwright James Goldman "The Lion in Winter".

Leaders

Director of the Theater "Fest" is still Igor Sokolov, who, by the way, writes pictures in his spare time and even exhibits them in the Mytishchi Picture Gallery. The artistic director of the troupe is the same Igor Shapovalov, who has many excellent productions behind him. The head of the troupe is Dmitry Polyansky, the artist of the theater is Irina Titorenko. And many other people are responsible for the harmonious work of the troupe and the brilliance of the plays.

Igor Shapovalov spent his team through all these years and almost as passionately fires with creative ideas, as well as more than 25 years ago.

He was born in Kazan in 1960. He was the head of the youth amateur theater at the Forestry Institute; It was he who paved the way for his team in the world of a real professional theater. He also directed such theatrical productions in his already formed theater: "It's hard to be God" (based on the Strugatsky Brothers novel), "Forgetting Herostratus" (together with the teacher Semyon Barkan); In 2002 he directed the play "Plague on both your houses" (according to G. Gorin), and many other works of it are included in the repertoire of the theater "Fest" (Mytischi). In addition, he also plays roles in many of these productions, and the main roles, and is a well-deserved artist of Russia.

Festival "Podmoskovnye Nights"

The festival in Mytishchi "Moscow Nights" was founded in 2003. It is international, for the years of its existence it managed to acquire the status of a forum for the best theatrical companies of Russia and the near abroad.
