Kazan State Theater of Young Spectators, Youth theater in central Kazan, Russia.

The Kazan State Theater of Young Spectators is a theater for young audiences in central Kazan, Russia. The building holds a main auditorium and presents a varied program of productions for children as well as adults throughout the season.

The theater opened on 30 November 1932 in the former House of Jewish Culture with the play "Rovesniki". Closed in 1934 for lack of funds, it was restored by a Soviet government decree in 1935 after Komsomol members wrote to Moscow. In 1940 it received a former merchant club building on Ostrovsky Street, and in 1955 it was named after the Leninist Komsomol.

The theater performs in Russian, staging plays for children in daytime and for adults in the evening. Its repertoire includes "The Cat's House" after Samuil Marshak and "Treasure Island" after Stevenson, alongside Gogol's "The Gamblers" and Shakespeare's "Othello".

The theater sits close to Bauman Street and is easy to reach on foot or by metro, as Ploshchad Tukaya station is nearby. It is worth checking the program in advance, since performances vary by age group and some shows are aimed at younger children while others suit older audiences.

The theater performs in Russian, not Tatar: the Tatar-language youth theater was founded separately in the same building in 1949. Its 1996 production of Shakespeare's "The Tempest", directed by Boris Tseitlin, won Russia's Golden Mask national theater prize.
