Kostanay regional puppet theater

On December 31, 1986, the puppet theater opened in the city of Kostanay with the performance of A. Sadovsky "Mashenka". This performance became a starting point in the history of our theater. Today, the theater's repertoire includes more than 40 performances, many of which have adequately represented our region and country at puppet theater festivals of various levels, and have repeatedly become laureates and diploma holders.

In 1999, the Kostanay Regional Puppet Theater was merged with the Kostanay Regional Russian Drama Theater named after M. Gorky. This unique union of two absolutely different creative collectives in Kazakhstan has received the status of the Kostanay Regional Drama and Puppet Theater.

On February 27, 2012, Resolution No. 112 of the Akimat of Kostanay region "On the reorganization of the State Municipal state Enterprise "Kostanay Regional Russian Drama and Puppet Theater" was adopted and the municipal state state enterprise "Regional Puppet Theater" was created. In the same year, on May 28, by Resolution No. 255 of the Akimat of Kostanay region "On the transfer of regional communal property", it was decided to transfer a three-storey building along 20 Perronnaya Street from the balance of the Kostanay Regional Palace of Culture to the balance of the Regional Puppet Theater to the balance of the Regional Puppet Theater. The puppet theater has its own building with an auditorium for 126 seats, with art, design, costume workshops, a rehearsal hall and two dressing rooms. The puppet troupe opened its 27th theatrical season in its own building with the status of a regional puppet theater.

The creative component of the performances remains unchanged, they are staged according to the works of Russian, Kazakh and the best foreign dramaturgy. Children's performances "Once again about Little Red Riding Hood" (S. Efremov), "At the Behest of a Pike" (A. Garakhovskaya), "Teremok" (S. Marshak), "Three Little Pigs" (S. Mikhalkov), "The White Daughter of the Steppes" (G. Kulunchakova), "The Adventures of the Bear Rim-tim-ti" (Ya. Vilkovsky), "Hawk" (I. and Ya. Zlatopolsky), "Sing a song, my dombra!" (A. Karasai) and others have long been loved by the guys and continue to please them.

The actors of the theater work with different types of dolls – cane, tablet, glove, growth, which makes the performances diverse, unusual in a new way and invariably interesting for small and large audiences. Every season the repertoire of the theater is updated with new productions.

Over the years, the theater has won a number of prestigious awards and diplomas from Kazakhstan and Russia:

In 2020, a play was staged for high school children and adults "The Old Man and the Sea" based on the story by Ernest Hemingway. Director D. Zhumabayeva and production designer Y.

These are the play "The Queen of Spades" based on the story by A. S. Pushkin (directed by A. Zaitsev) and the play "The Proposal" based on the play by A.P. Chekhov (directed by Yu. Semenova).

During its short history, the puppet theater has achieved significant success in promoting and developing theatrical art in the region. The theater tours a lot, is engaged in charitable activities, so a grateful audience is looking forward to seeing us in cities and remote villages, boarding schools and orphanages. Several generations of viewers grew up watching puppet theater performances. The theater team keeps up with the times, constantly working to improve their skills, using a variety of forms and methods of work, improving them and bringing new things, meeting the tastes, worldview and needs of the modern viewer.
