Graduates of the school of Oleg Tabakov brought a diploma performance to Saratov

SARATOV. For the first time, Saratov theater-goers were given the opportunity to see a performance performed by a student group in their city. For two evenings, on the 3rd and 4th of June, the graduate course of the theater school created by Oleg Tabakov showed their thesis on the stage of the Youth Theater - the comedy “Profitable Place”.

Professional artists of Moscow theaters, Yuri Kravets, Elena Lemeshko and Alexander Fisenko, are also involved in the play. The director of the production is Mikhail Mironov, a representative of the acting team of the Moscow Art Theater. Chekhov. Before the performance, a meeting was held with reporters, during which A. Fisenko and Yu. Kravets said that the project created by Oleg Tabakov was being implemented for the first time.

Initially, it seemed unrealistic to teach acting to such young students. So far, no such experiments have been conducted. The guys who came to Saratov with a diploma performance are the first graduates of Tabakov’s school. On June 24th they will receive diplomas testifying to receiving the profession of an artist.

Many of the guys are already participating in the performances of Moscow theaters. It is possible that along with diplomas they will be offered jobs. Some plan to graduate. The performance "Profitable Place" in Moscow was staged on the training stage.

The school hall accommodates only 90 spectators, so the youth theater hall, designed for 600 spectators, became the first large stage venue for graduates. The directorial version of the play created by Mikhail Mironov differs markedly from the classic version. The heroes of the performance turned out to be modern, which is reminiscent of the scenery, costumes and musical design.

After the performances, the participants plan a trip to the children’s camp, where they will introduce the children to the basics of the acting profession.
