Lipetsk State Puppet Theatre, Puppet theatre in Lipetsk, Russia.

The Lipetsk State Puppet Theatre occupies a former Palace of Culture of the Trubny Plant, built in 1950 on Gagarina Street, 74, in the Pravoberezhny district. The building, a regional architectural monument, was restored in 2006–2008, when the stage was modernized and 188 new seats were installed in the auditorium. The theatre stages about 30 productions, including "Ищи ветра в поле" and "Тигрёнок Петрик".

The theatre was founded in 1962, during a period when puppet theaters were being established across the Soviet Union as part of broader cultural development. Its founding reflects the belief that puppet theatre served as an important vehicle for education and artistic expression.

The theatre stages stories rooted in Russian folk traditions alongside contemporary narratives, bringing them to life through the dedication of its puppet master ensemble. For audiences, it becomes clear how this art form remains woven into the fabric of regional cultural life.

The theatre is located on Gagarina Street 74 and offers regular performances throughout the theatrical season, primarily aimed at young audiences and families. Planning your visit around the performance schedule helps ensure you can attend a show that suits your interests.

The theatre has occupied the former Palace of Culture of the Trubny Plant since February 1998; the 1950 building is listed as a regional architectural monument. Its hall was re-equipped during the 2006–2008 restoration, when 188 new seats were installed and the stage fully modernised. The reopened theatre was inaugurated on 2 October 2008.
