Oleg Tabakov Theatre, Theatre and theatrical troupe at Malaya Sukharevskaya square, Moscow, Russia.
The Oleg Tabakov Theatre is a playhouse with two performance spaces in central Moscow that stages both classical and contemporary productions. The two buildings sit close to each other and offer different stage formats for drama, comedy and experimental work.
Oleg Tabakov founded the company in 1987 and began rehearsals in a basement on Chaplygina Street. The troupe later moved into larger spaces and opened a second stage at Malaya Sukharevskaya square.
The company stages works that explore everyday Russian life and address questions familiar to local audiences from their own experience. Productions often use language and symbols immediately recognizable to Russian theatergoers while also telling stories that cross borders.
Shows run daily between midday and late evening, and tickets can be purchased at the box office. It helps to check performance times in advance, as start times vary depending on the production.
The stage also trains young actors who later perform with the resident company or at other Russian theatres. This link between training and repertory work shapes the output and brings fresh faces to the stage.
