Artists go to educational institutions and show students theatrical performances based on the literary masterpieces that they are currently undergoing. To date, in the framework of the project, the Youth Theater takes five performances to schools based on the works of A.S. Pushkin, M.Yu. Lermontov, P. Bazhov, V. Shukshin, and A. P. Chekhov. These are: “Song about the merchant Kalashnikov”, “Sharmanka”, “Young lady-peasant”, “Secret tales of gold” and “Alone”. The project was launched in 2012. Since then, artists have already visited many schools and gymnasiums in Yekaterinburg.
The project "Theater behind the concrete wall" has existed since 2002. It was invented in order to show spectators on the stage of the Youth Theater on the plays of modern playwrights. These productions are provocative, revolutionary and have age restrictions. Only spectators who have reached 16 or even 18 years old can watch them. Within the framework of this project, many premieres took place, and some of them even became world-wide.
