Karaganda Regional Drama Theater named after Stanislavsky, Professional theater in Karaganda, Kazakhstan.

The Karaganda Regional Russian Drama Theater named after K. S. Stanislavsky is a theater in Karaganda, one of the first Russian drama theaters in Kazakhstan. Its building on Nazarbayev Avenue also housed the Karaganda Regional Kazakh Drama Theater named after S. Seifullin until 2008. The venue has multiple halls, with a main stage seating over 500 spectators and modern lighting equipment.

The theater began in 1930 as a traveling cultural group called Living Newspaper, operating from three train cars. Later it established a permanent home in Karaganda where it continues to perform.

The theatre's name honours Konstantin Stanislavski, the Russian director whose acting system shaped its approach. Its troupe has won the main prize at the "Theatre Through Children's Eyes" festival three times, and in 2010 it received a diploma at a republican theatre festival for the production "Don't Leave Me..." by A. Dudarev.

The theater stands on Nazarbayev Avenue, where it shared a building with the Kazakh drama theater until 2008. The troupe tours regularly, including a 2008 trip to Omsk, so check the schedule before visiting. The building is listed as an architectural monument of local importance.

The company's first director was V. Portnov, who also wrote its early sketches and plays. In 1937, Konstantin Rausch, exiled from Leningrad, took over as artistic director, raising the troupe's professional level and widening its repertoire to Molière, Shaw and Tolstoy. During the war, twenty staff volunteered for the front and others formed a concert brigade sent to the Baltic Front.
