About the Theatre

The Novosibirsk Regional Puppet Theatre was founded on September 1, 1933, as a puppetry studio under the Novosibirsk Youth Theatre.

Its first season opened in May 1934, and two years later the theatre became an independent creative institution. During the Great Patriotic War, the Central State Puppet Theatre from Moscow, led by the legendary Sergey Obraztsov, was evacuated to Novosibirsk. At that time, the Novosibirsk theatre became a branch of the famed troupe, and to this day, the company proudly continues the traditions of the Obraztsov school.

Today, the theatre boasts nearly 60 productions for children, teenagers, and adults. It is a regular participant and award-winner at both national and international festivals, including «Ishara» (India) and «Mobarak» (Iran).
