On November 1^st the Krasnoyarsk Pushkin Drama Theatre celebrated its 150^th anniversary.

The first building of the theatre was a wooden one, constructed in 1874 on the spot, where the «Lokomotiv» stadium is now situated. In 1902 the theatre moved to its new stone building on Mira Avenue, where you can find it today. It was a truly public theater as Krasnoyarsk citizens gathered money for its construction. The then Public Theatre House rapidly became the centre of Krasnoyarsk cultural life. ​

Mikhail Kotuykov, Governor of the Krasnoyarsk Region:

​Today more than 220 people work in the theatre. Thanks to their work, the Krasnoyarsk Pushkin Drama Theatre is one of the leading Russian theatres. 6 performances of the theatre have become nominees for the National Theatre Award «Golden Mask».

Recently, thanks to federal support, the massive step-by-step reconstruction of the theatre has been completed. Now the troupe has 2 renovated buildings, including a new stage and innovative equipment, and actors have the opportunity to work in various genres and formats.​
