Comedy Theater named after N. P. Akimov in Saint Petersburg

The N. P. Akimov Comedy Theater is a historical venue that has existed since 1929 and gained fame thanks to the work of Nikolai Pavlovich Akimov. Today's Comedy Theater is a vivid example of academic art, offering its audience unique performances and experiments. A talented troupe is assembled here, including magnificent artists who embody the pride and cultural value of the theater.

The troupe of the theater is inextricably linked with creative unions and cooperation with famous playwrights. It was thanks to such cooperation that insanely popular plays such as "Shadow" and "Dragon" emerged, which became real masterpieces. It also presents outstanding translations of foreign classical works that have acquired a new life on the stage of the Comedy theater.

In the history of its existence, the theater has experienced difficult times, including the Great Patriotic War. The theater remained open even in the first year of the war and continued to delight the audience with its performances. During the difficult years, the troupe was evacuated, but it continued to exist and contributed to the victory over the enemy.

In different periods of history, the theater was headed by such famous artistic figures as Vadim Golikov, Pyotr Fomenko and Yuri Aksenov. They left their mark on the history of the theater, creating wonderful performances that the audience remembered. Today's theater bears the name of its founder, N. P. Akimov, and continues to delight the audience with new bright productions.

In 2008, the theater was closed for major repairs, as a result of which the hall was significantly expanded and transformed, as well as the spectator seats were replaced to improve the comfort of the audience. Sixty years later, the theater opened again for the audience and presented the legendary play "Shadow".
