Regional Kazhak Drama Theatre Takhavi Akhtanov, Professional drama theatre in Aktobe, Kazakhstan
The Regional Kazakh Drama Theatre Takhavi Akhtanov is a venue for theatrical performances presented in both Kazakh and Russian. The resident company offers a wide range of productions spanning established classics to contemporary works.
The venue was founded in 1935 as the Kazakh Musical Drama Theater following an initiative by People's Commissar T.Zhurgenov. A major shift occurred in 1998 when separate Kazakh and Russian ensembles merged into one organization.

The theatre has a box office for direct ticket sales and also accepts bookings through online channels. Performances run throughout the theatrical season, so checking the program and showtimes in advance helps with planning.
The theatre is named after a prominent local dramatist and continues to honour this heritage in its choice of works. This link to Kazakh theatrical tradition influences the kinds of plays selected for staging today.
