Oleg Tabakov's Theater was born in the late 70s of the 20th century in a small basement. It was founded by Oleg Tabakov. The first troupe was made up of students of this talented actor. Today on the stage of the theater are classical and modern plays.
Theater History
Tabakov Theater opened in 1978 in the basement of a residential building. Oleg Pavlovich Tabakov himself found this room. The basement was raw and cluttered. The director and his actors themselves cleaned it, painted it and brought it into an appropriate form. The hall was very small - only ten rows. But there were many people who wanted to see the theater's performances, and therefore, in order to get here, we had to defend a large queue. The first production of the troupe was the play "And in the spring I will return to you ..." by Alexei Kazantsev.
Initially, the Tabakov Theater Studio was called the Basement. And then it was renamed “Snuffbox”. The status of the state theater was received only in 1986. The authorities for a long time were indifferent to the new troupe that appeared in the city of Moscow, and did not support its undertakings in any way. As a result of this, Oleg Tabakov had to release his first artists to various theaters. And in 1981, he scored a course of new students. Among them were Nadezhda Timokhina, Alexander Mokhov, Marina Zudina, Alexei Serebryakov and others. It was they who made up the new troupe of the Tabakerka Theater. Rehearsals and performances resumed. The old productions were restored and new ones created.
After O. Tabakov managed to draw the attention of the state and achieve subsidies, some of the actors included in the first draft returned to the troupe. Many artists have been serving at The Snuffbox from the very beginning to the present.
Over time, the word "studio" was removed from the theater logo.
And today the best students from the courses of Oleg Pavlovich Tabakov of the Moscow Art Theater School, where he has been the rector since 1985, come to the troupe. He teaches himself and in the learning process reveals the most talented, whom he takes to his theater. But not only their students are taken by the head of the troupe. Graduates from other theatrical universities also serve here. Oleg Pavlovich is famous for his ability to find and reveal talents.
Many performances of "Snuffboxes" have been going on stage for several decades. For example, such as "Sailor silence."
Many artists often take the initiative of directors. The artist does not interfere with such creative manifestations in any way and gives the opportunity for such self-expression. Among the performances in the repertoire of the theater there are also those directed by actors. The Snuffbox has a special atmosphere - trust and understanding.
The performances are attended not only by artists of the troupe. O. Tabakov often invites eminent actors from other theaters into his performances.
"Snuffbox" also collaborates with directors from the side. So, for six years Mindaugas Karbauskis worked here . His productions have won prestigious awards more than once.
