House of the Actor, Kharkov: the theater center of the big city

On Manizera Street in Kharkov, in the shadow of fir-trees and lindens, a residential building lurked, remarkable for the fact that the first floor in it is occupied by the House of Actors. This is one of the few urban theater centers that has reached the European level. On his stage there are more than 15 non-state acting studios and collectives. Some are just starting their creative work, others have long been known to the theater public, such as "New Stage", "Amadeus", "Nika", "Theater 19", "New Theater".

House of Actor, Kharkov

It is located in a residential building, built in 1929 of the last century. In the postwar years it housed a puppet theater. Since 1968 the house was occupied by the Ukrainian Theater Society. After reconstruction and extension of additional premises in 1972, the building was handed over to the House of Actors. Since that time, there have been held evenings dedicated to stage masters and young actors, meetings with spectators, creative meetings with theatrical groups touring in Kharkov, performances.

In 2005, on the basis of the Actor's House, the Kharkiv Theater Center (CTC) was created as a charitable foundation for the unification of the activities of non-state theaters, public organizations and commercial structures. Its main goal is to raise the culture in Kharkov to a higher level.

Kharkiv Theater Center

Within the framework of the program of actions of the founders, the House of Actor in Kharkov was radically reconstructed during the year: the large hall was rebuilt for 200 seats, the make-up and technical rooms were repaired and improved. The lobby also changed. In the future plans - the restoration of the main and courtyard facades.

In connection with the expansion of the activities of the HTC, a small stage with a hall-transformer for 70 seats was built. This moved part of the performances, which conditions of the small hall are necessary for creating a greater stage expressiveness. During the reconstruction of the premises, original planning solutions were used, which completely transformed the House of Actors.

Kharkov is the only city in Ukraine that owns a free theatrical area. It gives an opportunity to new acting studios to show their talent and improves the tour activity within the framework of the HTC.

Creative activity of the theatrical center

Unconventional and vivid productions gather complete auditoriums in the House of Actors. Kharkov Theater has the opportunity to see more than 60 performances per month on two of its stages. Concerts, exhibitions, meetings are held here. Much attention is paid to the holding of festivals: the international small forms "Teatronic" and the annual one called "Kurbalesia", in which performances of non-state theaters take part. Support of young directors, stage designers, actors, organization of creative evenings, master classes, competitions and, of course, staging performances - all these are tirelessly engaged in the House of Actor. Kharkov can be proud of its center. It is here, on the stage of the HTC, that the magic world of art always reigns and the theater heart of a cultural city is beating.
