"Ave Maria Ivanovna"
In 2013, the Theater on Tea House presented to the public a performance that is still ongoing and is one of the audience’s favorites. It is called "Ave Maria Ivanovna." A production in the genre of a village series has been created. The plot is based on the play by D. Kalinin. The performance lasts a little over an hour and is filled with folk songs.
This is a touching everyday story about the first love of simple village youth, straightforward people who lived in the 30s of the 20th century. They are free, not burdened with the excesses of civilization and enjoy life in nature. Heroes know how to feel and sympathize.
The main characters are the first beauty Masha and her two boyfriends. One of them is a harmonist and the first guy in the village of Andrey. The second is the shepherd Petka. The guys persistently pursue Mary’s love, dream of marrying her and regularly fight with each other for her, but she still can’t decide which one is more to her liking. And then there are changes, the formation of collective farms, etc. Collectivization has become a serious problem and even a tragedy for the peasants.
"Ave Maria Ivanovna" is a performance about ordinary people, but at the same time it makes you genuinely empathize with the heroes, since history is vital. The staging is both funny and sad. Not once will the audience have to cry, because the era of the heroes got a difficult one, first collectivization, then war. But there is more humor in this story than sadness. The jokes here are good; they show the openness of the main characters, their unity with nature and their proximity to God. The performance does not make fun of the nearness or stupidity of ordinary people.
There is little scenery on the stage during the performance, at a minimum, since the main thing here is the acting, the interaction of the artists with the audience. There must be unity between the hall and the stage.
Although this is a modern play, it lacks the vulgarity, pretentiousness, and perversion that are inherent in most works of the 21st century. This is a sincere, sincere and unsophisticated story, which is exactly what all of us lack today.
The actors playing the roles in the play "Ave Maria Ivanovna" are remarkably getting used to their roles, and the audience thinks that they are in front of a real village and not artists, but really Masha, Petka and Andrey.

Reviews
"Theater on Tea", despite its youth, is already quite popular in Odessa. Viewers leave enthusiastic reviews for the most part. The audience considers the repertoire interesting, and the actors are talented and brilliantly performing their roles, they do not play, they live the lives of their characters.
One of the most beloved performances by the public is “The main thing, when?”. It was staged based on the play by Rodion Beletsky "Conversation, which was not there." Viewers write that this production makes both laugh and cry. There is something to think about, and you can even get comfort for the soul, if suddenly a black hole has formed in it from a big loss. Actors perfectly transform into their characters, they manage to convey to the audience the necessary emotions. They play in such a way that “goosebumps” run through the skin and the acuity of sensations sometimes even rolls over. You just forget that you are in the theater and begin to perceive what is happening, as if it were all real. At the end of the action, many viewers leave the hall in silence, they simply have no words from the impressions.
Those who visited this production strongly recommend that everyone who has not yet watched it see it. After it, many will conclude that in fact, you can always find time to talk, meet with relatives and friends, because one day this may not be possible. This performance will make you remember your friends and really want to call those with whom communication is so rare. Some theater fans have watched this production more than once, and they want to return to it again.
