The level of culture of a country depends on the culture in each city and locality. The more libraries, museums and theaters, the more intelligent the population. Today I want to talk about the Strela Theater in Zhukovsky. This institution appeared not so long ago, but has already managed to gain a regular audience.
Building history
The Strela Theater in Zhukovsky is located in a beautiful building that has a hundred-year history. Its construction is rooted in the past, in the distant 1913, when it was decided to build a village. It was intended for people serving the railway. The architect of this project was V. N. Semenov. He gave the name "garden city" to his offspring. But unfortunately, the war prevented the implementation of the project. Only a hospital ensemble was built. By appointment, however, he did not have to act. During the war years, the hospital headquarters housed the aviation headquarters, and in peacetime a cultural center was established. Within the walls of this institution were mugs for children and dance evenings for adults. And then a theater studio was organized. It was from her that the modern drama theater Strela in Zhukovsky grew up.
Back to the past
The history of the theater officially takes its count from 1984. It was at this time that amateur actors began active creative work within the walls of the former hospital complex. This group is led by the Zakharovs. The efforts were appreciated by the local administration, and the theater received the title of the people. In 1987, the acting troupe confirms that it deserves to be called a theater, since the creative team becomes the laureate of the All-Union Festival of Folk Art.
The Strela Theater in Zhukovsky received its official name in 1996. The main financial sponsor and moral support of this institution was the Institute. Gromova. It was the leadership of the institute that helped the theater arrange all the papers, and since then the organization is already legal. In 2002, Strela departed from the patronage of the institute and became a municipal institution.

In season, the Strela Theater in Zhukovsky gives more than 200 productions. Most of them are designed for a young audience. The theater specializes in Russian folk tales, but does not forget to replenish its repertoire with classical works. In addition to the main repertoire, the theater administration is actively involved in the life of the city. Actors arrange creative evenings for orphans and disabled people.

And in the evenings, art professors give lectures on styles, tell biographies of artists and interesting stories from creative life.
