Almetyevsk Tatar State Dramatic Theatre, State theater in Almetyevsk, Russia.

The Almetyevsk Tatar State Dramatic Theatre occupies the former House of Culture building, rebuilt and fitted out for the stage in 1985. It was a touring collective until that year, and since 1973 has used a separate building for rehearsing new productions.

The theater was founded in 1944 during World War II, at a time when the city was rapidly developing as an oil center. This institution was created to provide cultural offerings to the growing population.

The repertoire is built on Tatar drama, from Riza Ishmurat's "Kaytu" ("The Return"), staged by A. Galiev in 1944, to Tufan Minnullin's "If There Is No Moon, There Are Stars", which won the G. Tukay State Prize in 1979. In 2014 the company produced "Never-Before-Told Stories", the first Tatar verbatim play, built from real interviews.

The venue is centrally located in the city and should be reachable by public transport or on foot. Before visiting, check the current schedule and ask whether guided tours of the building are available.

In 2014 the theatre staged "Neuvydumannya istorii" (Uninvented Stories), described as the first Tatar verbatim production, built from real people's words rather than a scripted plot. The company also tours festival-format work: its "Magazin" after Olzhas Zhanaydarov was nominated in four categories of the Golden Mask 2018, including best small-form production and best female role.
