The Gorky Theater (Dnepropetrovsk) opened its doors in the first third of the twentieth century. Today in his repertoire - productions for adults and for children.
Theater History
In 1927, a drama named after M. Gorky was opened. The theater (Dnepropetrovsk) was formed from the troupe of the Small Drama Theater of Moscow, which at that time was on tour in the city. The idea of creating an art temple in the city belonged to the executive committee of the city council.
The young theater of Russian drama was headed by Vladimir Ermolov-Borozdin. This is an extraordinary person. V. Ermolov-Borozdin created the concept according to which the theater lives now: "Talk about the modern with contemporaries in the modern language."
In the early years of the drama, almost all plays by Maxim Gorky were staged in Dnepropetrovsk. This became the reason that the theater in 1934 was called his name.
The Drama Theater has been proud of its wonderful personnel all the years of its existence. Talented directors have served and are serving here. The performance of the performances is done by beautiful artists. And also there are wonderful make-up artists, dressers, sound men, illuminators and others.
A high level of skill distinguishes actors who are accepted to work in the Gorky Theater (Dnepropetrovsk). The poster offers the audience interesting performances and concert programs. Thanks to this, the troupe has earned recognition and love from the public. Theater performances are included in the country's gold fund. The names of the figures of the drama named after Maxim Gorky are inscribed in the "Modern Encyclopedia of Ukraine".
