Regional Drama Theater, Theater building in Mogilev, Belarus.
The Regional Drama Theater sits in downtown Mogilev with architectural details from the late 19th century that define its classical appearance. The building contains multiple performance spaces of different sizes suited to various types of productions.
The theater opened in 1888 and marked the start of professional theatrical performances in eastern Belarus. Since then it has remained a center for performing arts in the region.
Since 2006 the theatre has hosted the international youth theatre forum M.@rt.contact, founded under director Andrei Novikau. In 2012 its production "Classmates" by Yulia Charnyauskaya, directed by Katsyaryna Averka, won the Second National Theatre Award for best staging of a work by a contemporary Belarusian author.
Visitors can buy tickets at the box office in the main entrance hall or call ahead to reserve seats. It helps to check the current season schedule before visiting and dress appropriately for the occasion.
Since 2006 the theatre has hosted the international youth theatre forum "M.@rt.contact", founded on the initiative of its director Andrei Novikau. In November 2020 the regional culture department dismissed Novikau after he refused to punish staff who had signed an open letter against the post-election violence.
