Lysva Drama Theatre, Regional theatre in Lysva, Russia
Lysva Drama Theatre occupies the brick building of the former Lysva craft school, constructed between 1903 and 1906 in the brick style. The building has housed the theatre since its foundation in 1944 and was designated a regional architectural monument in 2000.
The company was formed in 1944 from the Ivanovo travelling theatre and the Molotov Theatre of Miniatures, opening its first season on 7 October 1944. On 24 November 2000 it was named after director Anatoly Savin. In 1996 its production of Chekhov's "The Wedding" took part in the 50th Avignon Festival in France.
The theatre presents both classic Russian plays and contemporary works, blending traditional theatrical heritage with modern artistic expression. This mix is visible in the range of productions staged for the local audience.
Tickets can be purchased at the box office in the main entrance hall or reserved through the theatre's online booking system. It is helpful to check the programme in advance to plan your visit.
The building was erected in 1903–1906 as the Lysva craft school, in brick style, and was declared an architectural monument by governor's decree No. 713-r of 5 December 2000. The theatre took it over and has played there since its first season on 7 October 1944.
