Story
Tyumen Theatre of Drama was opened in 1858. Its creation was a great event for the city. The initiator of the opening of the theater was the merchant Kondraty Sheshukov. The performances were amateur, since there was no professional troupe in Tyumen at that time. The audience really liked the first performance, the actors played it for a whole year and all this time the hall was full. The troupe consisted of teachers, merchants and prominent citizens. The money raised from the performances was used to financially support the girls' gymnasium. In 1890, merchant Andrei Tekutyev became a trustee of the troupe.
Over the years of its existence, the Tyumen Drama Theater changed its name many times, it was assigned different names. In 1944 it received regional status. His repertoire even then included diverse and multi-genre productions. On its stage they performed plays based on the works of Russian and foreign classics, musical performances, historical dramas and revolutionary productions.
Previously, the Tyumen Drama Theater was located on Herzen Street. Today it is located at: st. Republic, house No. 192. The new theater building has five floors, a beautiful facade and columns. Room area - 36 thousand square meters. Now the theater is called “Bolshoi Drama”, since now it is truly the largest in area in our country. There are two auditoriums here. The large one can accommodate up to 800 people. The capacity of the small hall is 200 spectators. The new theater building was erected in record time short time- about two years.
Tyumen drama actively participates in festivals, as well as in various other events, both interregional and international.
Today the theater has set itself another task - the erection of a monument to the great fellow countryman, People's Artist G.I. Dyakonov-Dyachenkov. Part of the proceeds from the sale of tickets to performances will go to finance this sculptural composition. They will erect a monument in the park, near the theater itself.

The history of the Tyumen Theater began in the 19th century. The first amateur theater was located in a small mansion built in 1853 by merchant Kondraty Kuzmich Sheshukov for a district school. The building has survived to this day and is located at st. Semakova, 10.
The first performance of the amateur theater took place on December 27, 1857 in the hall of the district school. The production was a resounding success and filled the halls for a whole year. The troupe consisted of teachers, merchants and prominent citizens. The money raised from the performances was used to financially support the girls' gymnasium.
It is known that in 1858 a St. Petersburg guest expressed admiration for the amateur performance. This fact was recorded, and the countdown began with it theatrical history cities.
On February 8, 1858, in the information newspaper “Tobolsk Provincial Gazette” - “Local News” they wrote: “...There is a noble performance in Tyumen! How is this so? Until now, we knew Tyumen as a trading city, famous for its wide hospitality, where cards were considered the most convenient entertainment... Where did they come from? characters for the Tyumen Noble Theater? There is no nobility there, as in all of Siberia, there are very few district officials, perhaps from the merchant class?.. Such participation of the Tyumen merchants in a noble theater for the first time should please everyone who cherishes every step forward in our public life...”
Charity performances started by Kondraty Sheshukov made it possible to raise the funds necessary to maintain the girls' school, and soon the amateur theater stopped its performances - there was a lull in the city. But news of the townspeople's interest in noble performances apparently found a response in the hearts of professional actors. Since 1878, various theater troupes began to come to the city on tour. In rented premises suitable for the performance, they entertained the townspeople with their skills for several months in a row. Theatrical life in the city was revived, gradually developed, but was still a rather spontaneous phenomenon, and most importantly, alien.
This continued until 1890, when the merchant decided to take the theatrical business under his wing. He rebuilt one of the buildings he owned on Irkutskaya Street (now Chelyuskintsev) into a theater. And although at that time Tyumen still did not have its own troupe, and guest performers continued to perform on the stage of a private institution, the appearance of this building cemented the stable concept of “Tekutyevsky Theater” in the minds of the townspeople.
Even by modern standards, the building of the stationary theater turned out to be worthy of admiration. In the auditorium, in addition to the stalls, there were boxes in two tiers, an amphitheater, and a gallery. Apartments were provided in the building especially for the theater troupe, and for the convenience of spectators there were spacious lobbies and buffets. In 1909, after restoration, the stage and foyer were expanded. The auditorium instead of 500 now accommodates 1,200 seats.
The merchant spent exclusively his own funds on both the construction of the theater palace and its subsequent maintenance.
Andrey Tekutyev maintained the theater for 26 years. In 1916, before his death, he bequeathed his building on Irkutsk to the city, with the condition that it would be used “exclusively for a theater.” The city government accepted this gift, and newspaper announcements began to announce performances not at the Tekutyev Theater, but at the Tekutyev City Theater.
Since 1919 it has been called the Theater named after. Lenin. There is no permanent troupe yet. At the end of the season, the performing troupe disbanded and a new one was recruited for the upcoming season. As a rule, actors did not have special education. In 1920, a performing arts studio began operating at the theater. In the fall of 1922, there was a fire in the theater, and only charred ruins remained of the building. Neither the scenery nor the equipment could be saved.
Only in 1924, by decision local authorities was organized new theater, which was called Chamber and located in the building of the former Pobeda cinema. The building was small, so the theater quickly managed to update the furniture and decorations. It was assumed that the Chamber Theater would cultivate all genres of performing arts. The troupe worked under the direction of Saburov-Dolinin, who was simultaneously an actor, director and theater director. Over the 10 years of the Chamber Theater’s existence, 11 troupes have changed there. Management changed almost every year. In the city council, on the pages of the local press, the question of constructing a new winter theater building and increasing the funds allocated for its needs was regularly raised.
However, there were no funds for the construction of a new building. It was decided to use the building of the former salt merchant warehouses on Herzen Street, which also needed reconstruction. It was only at the beginning of 1935 that the new theater building was finally opened. It changed its name, becoming from this year the Tyumen State Drama Theater named after the 17th anniversary of the Workers 'and Peasants' Red Army.
In 1938, the first stable troupe was created. In 1939, the practice of “stationing” began Soviet theaters. Now they have begun to hire actors and directors for permanent work on staff.
In 1944, the Tyumen Drama Theater received regional status. The troupe consisted of 32 people, of which only 15 were born in the 20th century, and only four were under 30 years old. His repertoire even then included diverse and multi-genre productions. Plays based on the works of Russian and foreign classics, musical performances, historical dramas and revolutionary productions were performed on stage.
In 2008, the theater moved to a new building, at 129 Respubliki Street, donated to the temple of art by the Government of the Tyumen Region. The theater area is 36,000 square meters. It has five floors, a beautiful facade decorated with columns. There are two in the theater auditoriums, for 800 and 200 seats.
The theater staff set themselves the task of erecting a monument to the great fellow countryman, People's Artist G.I. Dyakonov-Dyachenkov. Part of the proceeds from the sale of tickets to the performances went to finance this sculptural composition. In 2017, the monument was erected in the park, near the theater itself.
The theater actively participates in festivals, as well as in various other events, both interregional and international.
