History
Modern is a theater that appeared in Moscow in 1988. He gained fame in a very short time. Initially, it was called "Studio Theater on Spartakovskaya." And a year after its creation, he had already toured Yugoslavia and the USA. Theater performances are distinguished by their brightness and avant-garde.

Then began a new frontier in the development of the theater. He changed the name to the one he is wearing now.
The repertoire of the theater "Modern" includes performances based on the works of classics, on the plays of Soviet and modern playwrights. As well as fairy tales for children.
