Lenkom Theatre, Theater in Tverskoy District, Moscow, Russia
Lenkom Theatre occupies a three-story building with classical elements designed by Illarion Ivanov-Schitz on Malaya Dmitrovka Street. The hall hosts regular evening performances and welcomes visitors for guided tours of its interior spaces and backstage areas.
The building was constructed in 1909 as a Merchant Club and transformed into a theater in 1927. Its renaming as Lenin Komsomol Theatre marked its shift to become a center for theatrical performances.
The venue is valued by Muscovites for its range of Russian classic plays and contemporary works performed by a resident company. The stage has shaped the district's cultural life for decades and remains a gathering place for theater enthusiasts.
Visitors can book guided tours of the building and purchase tickets in advance through the official booking system for evening performances. It is helpful to check the schedule beforehand to plan your visit and secure seating.
During World War I, the building served as a 300-bed hospital before becoming a cultural center. This dual past shows how Moscow buildings shifted purposes according to the city's needs.
