The theater "Kolyada" (Yekaterinburg) was founded in 2001. Its repertoire includes performances for adults and children. The theater is directed by Nikolai Kolyada - director, actor and playwright.

History

The Kolyada Theater (Yekaterinburg) opened its doors in December 2001. The first performance was based on the play "Persian Lilac". In the first years of its existence, the theater did not have its own premises, but even then it organized the competition of playwrights "Eurasia". It is held to this day and is one of the most popular and prestigious competitions for playwrights.

In 2004, the theater "Kolyada" (Yekaterinburg) received its first premises. It was the basement of the local history museum. The premises were transformed by the artists themselves, as well as students and just caring people. Those who wanted creative freedom came to the troupe.

All the performances of the theater were already sold out at that time. The repertoire began to replenish with new productions. And all this despite the fact that they tried to take the building away from the theater in order to give it to more profitable tenants.

In 2006, a newthe building received "Kolyada" (theater, Yekaterinburg). Its address is 20 Turgenev Street.

In 2014 another move took place. The theater received a building on Lenin Avenue, which previously housed a cinema hall. The premises have been renovated and technically equipped. Now it has two halls: Malachite, which is designed for 120 seats, and Garnet, which can accommodate 60 spectators. The theater also has a buffet, cloakroom and foyer. The opening of the new building took place in April 2014.

Kolyada-mail works in the new building. Any viewer can sign a postcard addressed to a performance or artist. The recipient will definitely receive the message. The author of the postcards is the artist Alexander Miklyaev.

"Kolyada" is a theater that very often tours in Russia and other countries. He is a regular participant in various festivals. He has many awards in his piggy bank, including the Golden Mask.

The theater itself is the organizer of the festival, which is called "Kolyada-Plays". In order to take part in it, troupes from different cities of Russia, as well as from other countries, come to Yekaterinburg. The festival takes place at eight theater venues in the city. And today it is held not only in Yekaterinburg. It also takes place in Poland - in Warsaw. In addition to performances, readings of plays by young playwrights from the Urals take place at the festival. As well as film screenings, concerts and workshops.
