Masterskaya Theatre, Professional drama theatre in Saint Petersburg, Russia
Masterskaya Theatre is a drama theatre on Narodnaya Street in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The auditorium is arranged so that the stage and the audience are close together, making each performance feel direct and immediate.
The theatre was founded in 2010 by graduates of Professor Grigory Kozlov's class at the Russian State Institute of Stage Arts. What began as a graduating group's project grew into a working and independent theatre company.
The theatre stages adaptations of works by major writers including Dostoevsky, Bulgakov, Shakespeare, and Moliere regularly throughout each season. These productions reflect the troupe's commitment to exploring different dramatic traditions and literary voices on stage.
The theatre sits on Narodnaya Street and can be reached easily by public transport. Since the program changes throughout the year, it is worth checking the current schedule before you go.
Every actor in the company trained together in the same class under Professor Kozlov, which is rare for a professional theatre. This shared background shows in how the cast works together, with a cohesion that runs through all productions.
