NOVOKUZNETSK. The traditional Kuzbass Theater festival opens on the evening of March 2 at the stage of the Novokuznetsk Drama Theater. The festival, which gathers professional theaters, dates back its history from the seventies of the last century.

The festival’s permanent address was Kemerovo, but this year it temporarily moved to Novokuznetsk, inviting the participating theaters to celebrate the anniversary of the Novokuznetsk Drama Theater in this way. In 2013, the main theater of Novokuznetsk celebrates its eightieth birthday.

The official date of the anniversary of the Novokuznetsk drama theater is November 6th, when in 1933 in the new building of the theater 1,200 spectators saw the premiere of the play "Intervention", staged based on the play of the same name by Slavin. However, for the first time about the theater team they wrote in the newspaper back in 1931. When the team was based in the club named after R. Eiche.

Over the past decade, the theater has become a real center of culture. The constant updating of the theater’s repertoire, an invitation to the tour of famous groups, metropolitan directors invited to work on new productions - all this brought the collective popularity among Novokuznetsk theater-goers.

And today the festival poster will delight city residents with the opportunity to get acquainted with the work of the best theater groups in the region. There will be no competition for performances in honor of the holiday, just theaters will show their new works. The festival program also includes skits prepared by participants, meetings and master classes.

A surprise was prepared for the audience - the Red Torch Drama Theater, who arrived from Novosibirsk, and the Kemerovo Theater of Plasticity “Grotesque * A” with a performance based on Bella Akhmadulina’s poems will show their work as honored guests of the festival.
