History of the theater

In the city of Bogorodsk (now it is the city of Noginsk) in 1914 a cinema was opened. Films with the participation of famous actors of that time were shown here. And on weekends there were amateur performances. Cinematography was very popular among the townspeople. Enthusiasts who were engaged in drama circles at workers' clubs acted as actors. Professionals also often took part in the performances. Among them were even metropolitan celebrities.

In 1925, the Noginsk Drama Theater brought together amateur talented artists and professionals into one troupe.

The theater continued to operate even during the harsh war years. Actors in ensemble teams went to hospitals and military units with performances.

In the fifties, the Noginsk Drama Theater began to be considered the largest cultural institution in the Moscow Region. The troupe's touring geography has expanded.

The sixties were difficult for the theater. The building toppledlong reconstruction. Fifteen actors remained in the troupe. But the drama theater survived and continued its creative path.

In the seventies, the troupe was replenished with talented graduates of the higher theater schools of our country: Vakhtangov, Moscow Art Theater, GITIS, Shchepkinsky. The latter form the basis of the current team.

A notable event in the life of the city was the production of a theater called "Savelyevs". This is a confession show. It is dedicated to three different wars - the Great Patriotic, Afghan and Chechen. This is the story of one family whose three generations of men fought.

Phoenix bird comes home

Among the premieres of the last two seasons of the Drama Theater (Noginsk) - a performance for family viewing "The Phoenix Bird Returns Home". Children will see a fairy tale here, and adults will perceive the story as a lyrical comedy. This is a lyrical comedy based on a play by contemporary writer Yaroslava Pulinovich. The director of the play is Natalia Shumilkina.

The main characters of the play are the cat Tosya and the Phoenix Bird named Felix. She is young, naive, funny, ridiculous and dreamy. And he is wise, old and tired of eternallife. Their meeting is completely random. But she turns their lives around. Tosya and Felix become real true friends, despite the fact that they are different creatures.

With this production, the Noginsk Drama Theater revived the tradition of showing family performances.

The staging is bright, musical, extraordinary. The characters are dressed in beautiful costumes. Today, very often the plays of modern playwrights are subjected to harsh criticism. This work is an example of the fact that even young authors living now know what true values are and are able to tell about the important and eternal.
