Founded in 1979, the Actor's House of Krasnoyarsk has become a cultural center for training seminars, theater festivals, creative and professional meetings. The Krasnoyarsk branch of the Union of Theater Workers of the Russian Federation is also located here. The administration and the creative team organize various theatrical events, and the mass holding of traditional holidays is firmly rooted and has become a custom in this institution.

But the main thing that attracts citizens here is visiting performances by a permanent troupe or private theaters and touring groups. A full house in the House of Actors in Krasnoyarsk is a common thing. Plays of different genres by Russian and foreign authors are played here, but the audience takes comedies in the best way.

Repertoire

Participants of the performances of the Actor's House in Krasnoyarsk are the actors of the drama, the oldest in Krasnoyarsk, the theater named after A. S. Pushkin, whom theatergoers often call Pushkinites. The game of the team always remains a bright event in the memory of the audience.

“Dreams come true”, a kind, with elegant humor, the audience receives a standing ovation and applauds the artists. And in the play "Boeing-Boeing"Pushkin's performers make the audience laugh uncontrollably, to tears, and with their performance make them want to visit the performance again.

In Sergei Selemenev's production of "My son-in-law stole a car of firewood" based on the stories of V. M. Shukshin, a star cast is involved. The virtuoso play of the performers seems to immerse the viewer into the original spirit of the Russian village, into the life of its inhabitants with simple unhurried speech and characteristic humor. The performance remains one of the best in the repertoire of the Krasnoyarsk House of Actors.

In addition to those mentioned, there are now at least six more permanent plays. The actor's house has also become a platform for a wonderful production of Andrey Pashnin's "Separate Theater" "Intimate Life". Each performance of this theater invariably delights the audience. Unfortunately, Barcelona has not been released for some time, an excellent comedy by Ray Cooney performed by Pushkin, which has not left the stage for a long time. Perhaps she will reappear in the repertoire, as she was superbly received by the audience.

Emotional place

During performances, a certain spiritual relationship arises between the performers and the audience of the Actor's House, and the audience, without noticing it, become participants in the action. The small area of the hall and the theater places close to the stage contribute a lot to this. It is this genuine warmth inherent in the Krasnoyarsk Actor's House that attracts many people here. Everything is here with soul, from the heart: a small gallery in the foyer, and a cozy buffet with delicious coffee, and some kind of own, almost homely atmosphere.

Pessimistic note

But there is still a decent size fly in the ointment. The interior of the Actor's House has long been in need of repair. The deplorable state of the auditorium is depressing, and one can only imagine what conditions are provided behind the scenes for the actors.

Perhaps a small number of seats, when deducting salaries and other expenses, cannot provide enough money for repairs. And is it really not even the sale of extra tickets with the substitution of additional chairs (and sometimes there are not enough of them), which create a close crowd in the hall? If so, then we can only hope for the merciful alms of the city administration. Or, remembering the history of Russian philanthropy, when the level of donations reflected the scale of the fortune, a generous patron will suddenly respond, ready to put the necessary funds for repairs on the altar of art.
