April 24, 2009: The international theater festivals held at the
Taganrog Chekhov Drama Theater has become a well-established tradition. The tradition was started back in 1993 when its first international guests were theater troupes from Japan and Italy. Since then many theaters from Russia and the near-abroad took part at festivals held at the Taganrog Theater. The plays staged on the Taganrog scene by local artists and guest troupes were always popular among audience.
May 19-24, 2009 the next International Theater Festival "In The Homeland of Anton Chekhov" will open in Taganrog. The theater groups from Krasnodar, Belgorod, Voronezh, Taganrog, Moscow and Nikolaev (Ukraine) will be performing on the stage of the Taganrog Chekhov Theater. Taganrogers and visitors of the city are waiting to see the best directors' and actors' work in the plays by
Anton Chekhov and Alexander Ostrovsky.
We hope that the audience will give the guests of the festival a very warm welcome and will get unforgettable impressions.
