History

The city of Krasnodar has long been waiting for something new and not quite ordinary. The youth theater, created in the early 90s, met all expectations. His creative path immediately began with a multi-genre repertoire and original performances, which are very often staged by extraordinary directors from the capital and other big cities.

In the first years of its existence, the artists did not have their own premises and were constantly forced to rent various venues. In 1994, at the regional competition, the troupe glorified the city of Krasnodar. Youth theater received a prize. After that, the city authorities gave the artists a room in the center, where the cinema used to be.
