Drama Number Three, House of culture and theatre in Kamensk-Uralsky, Russia

Drama Number Three is the drama theatre of Kamensk-Uralsky, the city's oldest professional arts institution. Since 1943 it has occupied the former provision warehouses of the Kamensky factory in Old Kamensk, where a 360-seat auditorium was fitted out. From 1947 to 1949 the company also used the newly built UAZ culture house.

Founded in 1924 by order of the Soviet authorities as a touring theatre, the company was formed by director Lev Elston and was known as "Lev Elston's Troupe". It travelled to factories, mines and pits of the Urals, giving over a thousand performances on 50 stages in its first three years. In September 1943 it moved to Kamensk-Uralsky, becoming the Sverdlovsk State Regional Drama Theatre, and after the war the collective chose to stay permanently.

The theatre presents a range of performances, from classic works to contemporary plays that resonate with local audiences. These productions shape the cultural life of the city and create occasions for dialogue between performers and viewers.

You can purchase tickets at the box office in the building or use the online booking system. It is wise to plan ahead and check current event information to ensure you do not miss the show you want to see.

The theatre celebrated its centennial in 2024 with special performances and experimental productions. In these experimental shows, audiences can share their opinions and influence the future programming of the venue.
