Историческая справка

The Bryantsev Youth Theatre was founded in 1921 and originally opened in the hall of the former Tenishev School on ulitsa Mokhovaya. The theatre's chief director in 1921-1961 was Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Bryantsev, whose name was bestowed upon the theatre in 1980. Under his leadership, the theatre developed a special system of expressive means, designed for the psychology of children's perception. The theatre's repertoire included fairy tales, modern Soviet plays, and Russian and foreign classics. The theatre's best performances were considered to be: The Humpbacked Horse by Yershov (1922), Scapin the Schemer by Moliere (1924), Don Quixote by Cervantes (1926), Two Maples (1954) by Schwartz, Pushkin's Tales (1962), The Cat Who Walked by Himself by Kipling (1977), The Comedy of Errors by Shakespeare (1978), Diary of Poprischin by Gogol (1989), Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky (1994), The Old World Landowners by Gogol (1996), The Late Demon by Pushkin (1997), The Wood Demon by Chekhov (2000), Diary of a Provincial in St. Petersburg by Saltykov-Shchedrin (2002). In 1922, the theatre had a studio, which later became a section of the children's theatre of the Leningrad Institute of Theatre, Music and Cinematography (now the Theatre Arts Academy). In 1935 the New Youth Theatre, directed by Boris Sohn, was separated from the Theatre and existed until 1945. In 1942 the Youth Theatre was evacuated to Berezniki, and in 1944 it resumed its work in Leningrad. 
In 1959, to mark the anniversary of the founding of the pioneer organisation, a new building was built on Pionerskaya Ploshchad to a design by the architect Aleksandr Vladimirovich Zhuk. Bryantsev himself did not live to see the theatre housewarming for several months. However, he was involved in the design of the building and insisted that the new theatre should retain the amphitheatrical layout of the hall on Mokhovaya ulitsa. The stage, in keeping with tradition, was as close to the auditorium as possible. In front of the building, sculptural groups "Boys" and "Girls" by Aleksandr Mikhailovich Ignatyev and Lyubov Mikhailovna Kholina were installed.
