Taras Shevchenko Regional Academic Musical and Drama Theatre

The Drama Theatre started as a traveling collective farm theatre, founded by people from the 3rd artistic association ‘Berezil’. In spring of 1932, the actors performed ‘Family schetochnikov’ by Miroslav Irchan as their opening act. The theater was looking for a permanent place for a long time. Already the next year, it moved to Cherkasy, which was one of the centers in the Kiev region ​​at the time, and it has been its permanent base since.
In 1939, in honor of the theater’s 125th anniversary it was named the Great Bard. The play ‘Nazar Stodolya’ was performed at this occasion. In 1954, because of the formation of the Cherkasy region the theatre was reorganized into a stationary theater, with the construction of a new building. It was the most modern theater in the country, with mechanisms that could move the stage with scenery weighing up to 14 tons, and with the latest light and sound installations.

Since 1963 the theater has the status of Regional State Ukrainian Music – Drama. On April 25, 2006 the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Ukraine granted the theatre the academic status, hence the official name of the current theater. In 2007, the auditorium of the theater was modernized and a big Austrian crystal chandelier with a diameter of 4.5 m was installed. our-travels.info
