The culture level of a country depends on the culture in each city and town. The more libraries, museums and theaters, the more intelligent the population. Today I want to talk about the theater "Strela" in Zhukovsky. This institution appeared not so long ago, but has already managed to gain a permanent audience.

History of the building

The Strela Theater in Zhukovsky is located in a beautiful building that has a hundred-year history. Its construction is rooted in the past, back in 1913, when it was decided to build the village. It was intended for people serving the railroad. The architect of this project was V. N. Semyonov. He gave the name "garden city" to his brainchild. Unfortunately, the war prevented the implementation of the project. Only the hospital ensemble was built. As intended, however, he did not have to act. During the war years, the headquarters of aviation was located in the hospital building, and in peacetime a cultural center was formed. Within the walls of this institution, circles for children and dance evenings for adults were held. And then there wasorganized theater studio. It was from her that the modern drama theater "Strela" in Zhukovsky grew up.

Back to the past

The history of the theater officially dates back to 1984. It was at this time that amateur actors unfold an active creative activity within the walls of the former hospital complex. This group is led by the Zakharovs. The efforts were appreciated by the local administration, and the theater received the title of people's theater. In 1987, the acting troupe confirms that it deserves to be called a theater, as the creative team becomes a laureate of the All-Union Festival of Folk Art.

The Strela Theater in Zhukovsky received its official name in 1996. The main financial sponsor and moral support of this institution was the Institute. Gromov. It was the leadership of the institute that helped the theater to draw up all the papers, and since then the organization has already been legal. In 2002, "Strela" moves away from the patronage of the institute and becomes a municipal institution.
