History

"Modern" is a theater that appeared in Moscow in 1988. He gained fame in a very short time. Initially, it was called the "Studio Theater on Spartakovskaya".

He changed his name to the one he wears now.

The repertoire of the theater "Modern" includes performances based on the works of the classics, on the plays of Soviet and modern playwrights. And also fairy tales for children.

Theater "Modern" closely intertwines tradition and modernity. It relies on a serious psychological component of performances.

The building is aristocratic, decorated with stained glass. Inside - a beautiful staircase, which was restored bit by bit. The building is in perfect harmony with the name of the theater - "Modern".
