The theatre, situated on the left bank of Dnypro, has a special place among the other Ukrainian theaters. It came into existence on the wave of democratic changes in Ukrainian society in the late seventies of the previous century due to the initiative of Eduard Mitnizky, who headed the company and was the artistic director of the troupe. Today the Academic Theater of Drama and comedy is very popular among the audience and enjoys authority of the professionals. The theater produces classical and new plays of Russian and Ukrainian dramatic art in two languages – Ukrainian and Russian – and has already received over 15 theatrical awards in different nominations. Due to its numerous guest performances the troupe has admirers in different countries of the world, especially in Russia. Its extensive repertoire comprises plays by F. Dostoyevsky, M. Bulgakov, L. Tolstoy, as well as by outstanding modern playwrights. The theater is especially remarkable for its experimental performances. It was one of the first theatres in Kyiv, which established a small stage called The Theatre in the Foyer, where for the first time in the soviet theatre the play in Ukrainian (Lies by Vynnychenko) was staged.
