Belarusian State Youth Theatre, Cultural theater in Kazlova Street, Minsk, Belarus
The Belarusian State Youth Theatre is a performance venue in Minsk presenting shows across many genres and styles. The program ranges from classic literary works to contemporary and experimental productions created for diverse audiences.
The Belarusian State Youth Theatre was created by order of the Council of Ministers of the BSSR in July 1984, with a troupe drawn from the Minsk Youth Theatre and graduates of A. Butakov's class at the Theatre and Art Institute. Its first premiere was "These Incomprehensible Old People" after Svetlana Alexievich's documentary prose "The Unwomanly Face of War". The theatre opened officially on 19 November 1986.
The venue serves as a meeting point for young people interested in theater and performance arts in the city. Local artists and students use the stage regularly, and audiences come to watch productions that speak to their generation.
Tickets are available at the box office on site or by phone reservation in advance. Check the schedule before visiting since performances change regularly and not every show is suitable for all ages.
On 30 December 2015 the theatre received a special prize from the President of the Republic of Belarus for creative achievements and for its contribution to promoting theatre art. The company had already been named an Honored Collective of the Republic of Belarus.
