Karaganda Regional Drama Theater named after Stanislavsky, Professional theater in Karaganda, Kazakhstan.
The Karaganda Regional Drama Theater named after Stanislavsky is a performance venue with multiple halls located in the city. The main stage accommodates over 500 spectators and features modern lighting equipment for different types of productions.
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 theater stages classical and contemporary works that draw audiences from across the city regularly. The productions reflect an interest in stories shaped by both Russian and Kazakh themes and creative traditions.
The theater sits at the intersection of Bukhara-Zhyrau and Peace Boulevard and is easily accessible on foot or by public transport. Performances run regularly from Thursday through Sunday, with tickets available online.
The theater started as a traveling company on the Turksib railway line, covering thousands of kilometers to reach remote regions of Kazakhstan. Those mobile origins still shape how the venue thinks about its role as a place for everyone, not just city residents.
