History of the theater

When the Shchepkin Theater was opened in Belgorod - it is not known exactly. The first mention of it in the archives dates back to 1936. But it is known for certain that its roots go back to the nineteenth century.

The Schepkin Theater is an adherent of the classical Russian school. He follows the commandments of K. Stanislavsky and the great actor, whose name he bears.

During the war years, the troupe traveled to the frontline zones, where the actors performed in front of the defenders of the Motherland.

In 1954 the theater received the status of "regional". In 1956, he was named after the great Mikhail Shchepkin, who was born in Belgorod.

Now the theater has several stages - main and small. Some activities take place in the lobby.

Under the leadership of a talented manager and honored worker of arts Vitaly Slobodchuk, the Shchepkin Belgorod Drama Theater lives today. Its address: Cathedral Square, house no.1.

The M. Shchepkin Theater is itself the organizer of the festival. The idea of holding it was born in 1988. It was the country's first festival for actors.
