Photo and description

The Ivanovo Regional Drama Theater appeared in connection with the appearance of a drama troupe created by I.G. Gromov from Yaroslavl, who was invited to raise the level of culture of local residents of Ivanovo. At that time, Ivanovo worked: the Theater of the Young Spectator since 1929, the workers' theater of the regional trade council or Proletkult since 1924, the Musical Comedy mobile theater since 1931. The creation of a permanent drama theater was supported by the work collective of Gromov, who formed the new Ivanovo theater.

On February 5, 1933, the newly created drama theater opened the first season in the premises of the previously existing cinema "Giant", with the first performance being staging "Street of Joy" A. Zarkhi.

In January 1935, it was decided, represented by the regional executive committee, to unite the existing troupes of the workers' theater and the regional theater into an integral creative team. From that moment, the creative path of talented famous Ivanovo stage masters began: N.G. Evstafiefoy, K.P. Antipina, V.A. Shchudrov and many others. From 1934 to 1940, M.L. was the artistic director and leading actor of the Ivanovo Drama Theater. Kurskiy, who became the first honored artist of the RSFSR from the city of Ivanovo.

On September 28, 1940 the theater continued its activity, opening the next season, but only in a new building, staged by N. Pogodin "Kremlin chimes". In this performance, the role of Lenin was played by the unique actor M.G. Kolesov, which has played more than a hundred different roles. It was this man who was awarded the honorary title of People's Artist of the RSFSR. In 1965, the theater building was closed for reconstruction, after which it received a new name - the Bolshoi Drama Theater.

During the Great Patriotic War, performances did not stop and were held not only on a permanent stage, but also in recruiting centers and hospitals. It is known that at this time Raskatov Lev Viktorovich appeared on the scene, who was only 16 years old. This actor studied at all his universities, without leaving the stage. His unique, bright and charismatic talent has raised him to incredible heights in the art of acting, placing him in a row with the leading actors in Russia. Thanks to his aspirations and talent, Raskatov became the first People's Artist of the USSR from the city of Ivanovo, which the whole city is especially proud of to this day.

In mid-1973, K.Yu. came to the post of head of the drama theater. Baranov, after the start of work, the existing troupe was significantly updated, because it not only changed its repertoire somewhat, but also replenished with young talents. Within the framework of his work, one can note: A. Vampilov "Farewell in June", M. Shatrov "Przhevalsky's Horse", A. Makayenko "Zatyukany Apostle", which were played with the participation of M. Kashaev, L. Isakova, V. Beletsky and some other famous artists who still make up the main page of the history of the drama theater.

Today the theater has actors with their own theatrical history: Svetlana Basova, Olga Amalina, Andrey Bulychev, Alexander Krasnopolsky, Valentina Kuznetsova, Sergey Smirnov, Sokolova Larisa, Ptitsyna Tatiana, Khramtsova Lyudmila, Ikonnikova Elena, Semyonov Evgeniy and many others.

It is worth noting that in 1994 the play "Slave" by A. Ostrovsky was released, which was included in the extensive program of the Slavic festival taking place in Yugoslavia. In the same year, the drama theater took part in the festival, which was called "Voices of History" and was held in the city of Vologda.

In December 2005, I.V. was appointed to the post of chief director. Zubzhitskaya, who worked at the theater until the end of 2010. During her work the following performances were staged: M. Lado “A Very Simple Story”, I. Vyrypaeva “Valentine's Day”, J.-B. Moliere “School of Wives”, A. Tolstoy “The Adventures of Buratino”, E. Isaeva “About Me and My Mother”, I. Zhamiak “The Lord Who Pays”, A. Avkhodeeva “Capricious Princess” and many others.
