Vologda Regional Theatre of Young Spectators

The theater of young spectators in the city of Vologda was founded on April 16, 1976. The core of the theater troupe was made up of graduates of Novosibirsk and Yaroslavl theater schools. For the first four years, the theater did not have its own building, traveled a lot around the Vologda region, played performances in schools, cultural houses and other unsuitable venues, until at the end of 1979 it received its building. The opening of the theater building took place on January 25, 1980.

Since 1985, the theater is headed by the current artistic director Honored Artist of Russia Boris Granatov. With his arrival, a new stage of the creative biography of the Vologda Theatre of Young Spectators began. In 1999, Carmen was nominated for the Golden Mask National Theatre Award.
