Chuvash State Academic Drama Theatre

The Chuvash State Academic Drama Theatre is located in downtown Cheboksary and presents performances throughout the year in both Chuvash and Russian languages. The house stages both classical Russian works and contemporary Chuvash productions on its stage.

The theatre was founded in Kazan in 1918 and relocated to Cheboksary two years later, where it became established as a regional performing arts center. In 1933 it received academic status, gaining recognition for its artistic importance and professional quality.

The theatre carries the name of K.V. Ivanov and plays an important role in preserving Chuvash theatrical traditions. Visitors can experience both classical Russian works and contemporary productions performed in the Chuvash language here.

The theatre has regular performances from Thursday through Sunday, showing both classics and new works. It is easily accessible from the city center and offers a broad program for different interests.

In the 1940s, graduates of Moscow's Institute of Theatre Arts joined the stage and brought professional training methods with them. This coming together shaped the artistic development of the theatre and raised its level further.
