A trip to history
For the first time the theater for young spectators in Voronezh appeared in 1932. Just when there was an active wave of creation of leisure centers on the territory of the Soviet regions. They called the new theater "Young".
He did not manage to exist for a long time, because the Second World War soon began, where the entire troupe went. Only a good memory remains of the theater.
After the victory, the townspeople had no time for the theatre. For almost a year, bloody battles took place on the territory of Voronezh. Therefore, most of the buildings had to be restored from scratch.
The Theater of the Young Spectator returned to Voronezh only in 1963, and the well-known director Boris Abramovich Naravtsevich headed it. It was the very beginning, ahead were both stagnation and unrest. And the Theater of the Young Spectator in Voronezh reached its peak of fame when the famous director Mikhail Bychkov, the founder of the international Platonov Arts Festival, became its leader.

Which places to choose?
The Voronezh Youth Theater has a fairly large hall, made in the spirit of the Soviet theatrical tradition. The chairs are not the widest and not the most comfortable, and behind the person sitting in front you can not always see what is happening on the stage.
The scheme of the hall of the Theater of the Young Spectator in Voronezh is not available on the official portal. You can only find her during the tour of some external performance.
It is better to choose places in the stalls from 1 to 10 rows. Then difficulties begin - despite the gradual rise of the rows, depending on the degree of their removal, it will not really be possible to evaluate the performance of the actors.
The stage is almost invisible in the back rows. This is very inconvenient and strange, because most of the audience are children. It remains to be hoped that the theater is waitingrefurbishment and the hall will be redesigned to be more modern and comfortable.
"Young Spectator's Theatre" is a corner of classical Soviet art. It changes every year, but invariably continues to put on high-quality and interesting performances that make you think about something hidden and hidden, about what the director is trying to show the audience.
