The Noginsk Drama Theater received its first spectators in the first half of the 20th century. On its stage there are performances for spectators of different ages: for children, youth, adults and for family viewing.
Theater History
In the city of Bogorodsk (now it is Noginsk) in 1914, cinematography was opened. Films with the participation of famous actors of that time were shown here. And on weekends there were amateur performances. Cinema was very popular among citizens. The actors were enthusiasts involved in drama circles at work clubs. Also, performances were often attended by professionals. Among them were even metropolitan celebrities.
In 1925, the Noginsk Drama Theater brought together talented artists and professionals into one troupe.
The theater continued to operate even in the harsh war years. Actors as part of ensemble brigades traveled to hospitals and military units with performances.
In the fifties, the Noginsk Drama Theater was considered the largest cultural institution in the Moscow Region. The touring geography of the troupe has expanded.
The sixties were difficult for the theater. The building underwent a long reconstruction. There are fifteen actors left in the troupe. But the drama theater survived and continued its career.
In the seventies, the troupe was replenished with talented graduates of the highest theater schools of our country: Vakhtangovsky, Moscow Art Theater, GITIS, Schepkinsky. The latter form the basis of the current team.
A notable event in the life of the city was the staging of the theater under the name “Savelyevs”. This is a confession. It is dedicated to three different wars - the Great Patriotic War, the Afghan and the Chechen. This is the story of a family whose three generations of men fought.
The Noginsk Theater troupe showed the play "Savelyevs" in thirty cities near Moscow. Everywhere this story was a huge success. The performance received the National Public Recognition Award.
The modern troupe of the Noginsk drama consists of experienced old-timers and young artists full of energy. Among the actors there are two People's artists and eleven Honored. It is a talented troupe that is the main component of the success of the theater.
Now the post of director is held by Yuri Evgenievich Pedenko. He is a member of the board under the Ministry of Culture of the Moscow Region and is an Honored Worker of Culture.
Since 2012, the Noginsk Drama Theater has been renamed. Now it is called the Moscow Regional Drama and Comedy Theater.

"The Phoenix Bird Returns Home"
Among the premieres of the last two seasons of the drama theater (Noginsk) is the performance for the family viewing "The Phoenix Bird Returns Home". Children will see a fairy tale here, and adults will perceive history as a lyrical comedy. This is a lyrical comedy based on the play of the modern writer Yaroslava Pulinovich. The director of the performance is Natalya Shumilkina.
The main characters of the play are the cat Tosya and the Phoenix Bird named Felix. She is young, naive, funny, ridiculous and dreamy. And he is wise, old and tired of eternal life. Their meeting is completely random. But she turns their lives upside down. Tosya and Felix become true loyal friends, despite the fact that they are different creatures.
With this production, the Noginsk Drama Theater revived the tradition of showing family performances.
The performance is bright, musical, unusual. The characters are dressed in beautiful costumes. Today, very often the plays of modern playwrights are subjected to harsh criticism. This work is an example of the fact that young authors living now know what true values are and are able to talk about the important and the eternal.
