National Film Actors' Theatre, Theatre company at Povarskaya Street, Moscow, Russia

The National Film Actors' Theatre is a theatre building on Povarskaya Street in Moscow that serves both as a performance venue and a center for the work of film actors. The stage sits inside a multi-floor building in the city center, with an auditorium, rehearsal rooms, and technical facilities for different types of productions.

The house was founded in 1945 as a meeting point for film actors who wanted to perform on stage after World War II. Over the decades it grew into a permanent venue where performers from cinema regularly rehearse and present plays.

The name reflects the connection between cinema and stage that visitors see in daily operations. Audiences watch performances where screen actors interpret roles before a live crowd and seek direct contact with those in the seats.

The entrance sits near several metro stations in the city center, making evening access straightforward. Performances take place mostly in the evenings, and the program changes regularly during the season.

The ensemble consists of actors who often work in film studios during the day and perform on this stage in the evenings. Some productions use techniques from cinema, such as lighting effects or sound design, that are less common in traditional theatre.
