The International Theater Festival "In The Homeland of Anton Chekhov" to be held in Taganrog

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.
