Russian Theatre for Children and Teenagers, Theatre and cultural center in Almaty, Kazakhstan.

The Russian Theatre for Children and Teenagers is a multi-story theatre building in central Almaty, Kazakhstan, with a Soviet-era facade. It has a fully equipped stage and an auditorium sized for young audiences, and it runs productions throughout the year.

A decree of the Council of People's Commissars of the Kazakh SSR on 6 September 1944 ordered the creation of a theatre for young spectators in Alma-Ata, with Natalia Sats, then in exile in the city, as its first director. The first performances took place on 7 November 1945: "Little Red Riding Hood" by Yevgeny Schwartz in the morning and "The Siege of Leiden" by Isidor Shtok in the evening. A Kazakh troupe was added in 1946, and in 1995 the Russian company was named after Sats and granted academic status.

The theatre is named after Natalia Sats, who founded the world's first children's theatre in 1918 and helped establish about sixty others. Its first Russian-language performance on 7 November 1945 was Schwartz's "Little Red Riding Hood", with Akkagaz Mambetova and Tursyn Zharmukhamedova in the lead roles. A Kazakh troupe followed, staging Ostrovsky's "It's Not All Shrovetide for the Cat" on 2 February 1947.

The theatre sits on one of Almaty's main streets and is easy to reach by public transport. For school groups, booking ahead is a good idea since popular shows tend to fill up quickly.

Although the theatre is mainly known for children's shows, part of its programme targets teenagers and young adults with productions on more serious themes. Many adults in Almaty remember their first visit to a theatre as a trip to this one.
