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 adults.

About the theater

The first theater in Rostov appeared at the end of the 19th century. For him, his own building was immediately built. The stage was quite big. The auditorium consisted of three tiers and could accommodate up to 700 spectators. During construction, in the upper parts of the walls (under the ceiling), amphorae were embedded with their necks down. This provided excellent acoustics.

In 1929, another theater - the Working Youth Theater - settled in this building. He occupied the premises for only a few months. Then the building was given over to the newly opened Youth Theater, which was founded by director A. Nesterova.

In the post-war years, the building was occupied by the Comedy Theatre. It has gone through reorganization several times. The first happened in 1957. Then the theater turned into the Youth Drama Theater named after Lenin Komsomol. The second reorganization took place in 1964. The drama theater has becomeYouth Theater.

In 1983, his building underwent a major renovation. As a result, its area has increased, new premises, dressing rooms, two new stages have appeared.

After the reconstruction, the theater reopened renovated. Performances appeared in his repertoire that did not fit into the format of the Youth Theater. As a result, the troupe made the public not only in our country, but also abroad speak about themselves.

In 1997, the Youth Theater received the honorary title of Academic. And in 2001, he went through another reorganization, and since then it has been called the Youth Theater of Rostov-on-Don.

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