Русский драматический театр Черноморского флота имени Б. А. Лавренёва, Naval theater in Sevastopol, Russia.
The Lavrenev Russian Drama Theater of the Black Sea Fleet is a playhouse with around 570 seats located at Ushakov Square in central Sevastopol. The building provides an intimate venue where theater performances have taken place for many decades.
The theater was founded in 1932 by Defense Minister Voroshilov for the Black Sea Fleet. During World War II, performers staged shows on ships and at front lines to support the troops.
The theater stages Russian literary works and plays that reflect the life of the naval fleet. Audiences gather here to see stories connected to maritime tradition and local identity.
The theater is centrally located and fairly easy to reach on foot. Check ahead for current performance schedules to plan your visit accordingly.
During a wartime performance of the play 'Front', bombing damaged the costumes and props. The actors solved this by borrowing military uniforms directly from soldier audience members seated in the hall.
