Shevchenko Theatre, Drama and musical comedy theatre in Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine.
The Shevchenko Theatre is a drama and musical comedy theatre in Kryvyi Rih, a large city in central Ukraine. It has a modernized stage and technical setup that supports a range of productions across the year.
The theatre was founded in 1919 through the merging of several local theatrical companies. Over the following decades it grew into the main stage venue for the region.
The theatre is named after Taras Shevchenko, the Ukrainian national poet, and his works are regularly staged here. This gives visitors a direct connection between what they see on stage and the broader tradition of Ukrainian literature.
Checking the programme in advance is a good idea, as the schedule changes with the season. The theatre sits in the city centre of Kryvyi Rih and is easy to reach on foot or by public transport.
The theatre also trains young artists, making it both a production house and a place where new performers develop their craft. This dual role is relatively rare for a city of this size.
