Great theater! A good repertoire. A wonderful cast of artists who bring love to the theater to everyone who came. Each production is a celebration for both children and adults! In the repertoire of the theater today, everyone will find something for themselves. The hall is small, but very cozy; you can see and hear from anywhere. Good location a few minutes from Kupalovskaya metro station. You can also park by car, but it will take a little time to find an empty place. Tickets for the performances are sold in a matter of hours, there are no free seats. Every performance is a Full House! Keep it up !! Good health to all!!!

Cool theart for kids, and for adults too. A cozy, small, but spacious hall, there is a museum of puppet actors - you can come a little earlier than the performance and explore it, a small cafe. Among the productions are performances for children, first of all, and for adults. I went to the "Belvedere Boarding House" - this is a universal story about the most important thing, told without unnecessary words. More precisely, without words at all... Great acting. I liked it very much.

A wonderful theater for children and with unique performances for adults) the hall is compact and even from the side seats you can see smartly (even better for my taste than from the back rows). For schoolchildren, there is a favorite Sold laugh in the country of unlearned lessons, for kids there is a Dog Sonya and a Wolf and seven goats, many of my favorite performances for adults are here (tickets are like hot cakes) and at the theater of Belarusian drama.

What a wonderful, cozy, atmospheric place!!! The hall is small. And the play "Belvedere Boarding House" is something very philosophical, touching, tragic and funny. The acting is great! Unsurprisingly, tickets sell out faster than hotcakes. I recommend watching! There is a museum of puppet actors. Very interesting! It seems to me that it is even more for adults than for children! I'm sure it was the first and definitely not the last trip to this theater! 🥰❤️❤️❤️

This theater has left one of the best memories of the beautiful Minsk. If you are traveling with a child, then by all means go to this puppet theater. We went to the play "Kiwi". For me, this is the 30th baby performance and, believe the expert, I have not seen the best entertaining and educational performance! Mostly performances for babies based on fashionable and folk tales, but here we have a mix of educational information translated into children's with interesting interactive content. Plus, the wonderful acting, kind atmosphere, gorgeous dolls! We will come back more than once, and I recommend it to you.

A great place to introduce children to the theater from a very young age. The supplies are great. There is also something to see for adults. Definitely worth visiting all the productions. The buffet is also good.
Special thanks to the actors and sound engineers. A place to be ashamed of.

The theater is wonderful, the performances are super, the actors are on top, if not for one thing! Tickets for 18+ performances are almost impossible to buy. And also a very "polite" woman works at the ticket office, who in 2 seconds discourages the desire to come to buy tickets. (We did not see that "sold" was written everywhere on the poster, we decided to ask the woman at the checkout, unfortunately, we interrupted her phone conversation and she said, not in the most pleasant way, that we should look around)
They came on 09/01/2024

We really like children's productions. One small note - the music is too loud. As for adult productions, the opinion is ambiguous. The other day we watched "On a black, black Street" directed by Karnyag. Well, what can I say...some kind of drug-addicted bacchanal in the horror genre. We did not feel the depth of immersion in the plot. Andresen's fairy tales by themselves, without a film adaptation and the actors' games, make you squirm, empathize, and sometimes read faster so as not to get hung up on an imaginary picture in your head...And in the play, all these "horrors" are still dressed in black clothes, in "black" music and accompanied by inappropriate jokes (especially in the tale about 11 swans). The naked fifth point of one of the actresses is on the verge of being acceptable (for us, so beyond the limit). The director's reception - after reading the heartwarming text (Andresan's text), turn on the light and announce the intermission - is a cheap manipulation, they say, look, we caused emotion in people.... There was a thought that maybe we don't understand something and don't understand art-house productions, but after the first act many places were vacated The applause was loud, but not everyone clapped...In general, this production is not our format, I will not advise anyone.

I love puppet shows. I go to both adult and children's performances. I'm realizing my childhood dreams. There is a nice little doll museum.
The puppet theater is my love.

The theater is the most wonderful. The productions are simply mesmerizing in their strangeness. But this ticket rush is just exhausting. The theater needs a bigger stage 🫶
I advise you to watch the entire repertoire (for adults) 👍

I have not been to the puppet theater for more than 25 years.
Honestly, I don't really remember the interior as it was, I just remember the fish) But at the moment everything is clean, beautifully neat. There is a buffet with reasonable prices.
I really liked the doll museum.
We came with our daughter for the first time, to the play "in the land of unlearned lessons" the production is just super. The acting is beyond praise. A 7-year-old child was very involved. Leaving after the performance, they immediately bought a ticket for the production: "Tutta Larsen.The first and only one"

It is very difficult to get tickets, but after the performance it is quite understandable. I was lucky to get to the production of "Pension Belvedere". I thought there would be puppets, but it turned out that actors in costumes resembling dolls were playing. A strong work, a storm of emotions. And they cried and laughed. I liked that the ending is warm and sincere, like a plush blanket. I highly recommend it if you haven't already

Good productions, professional actors, a brilliant director. I highly recommend it, but it's a problem to buy tickets. The theater cannot accommodate everyone. The website is also "lying" on ticket sales days.
Don't forget to visit the museum - it's worth the attention!

The "Sold Laughter" festival. My son and I have been paying attention for 6 years and 9 months from the first words. It's been a long time since I've seen such a return on stage. Dynamics, playing with light, voices. The son was delighted with the actor who played Tim, and the son rarely praises so much. In the end, unexpectedly for myself, I was moved that I even shed tears! The costumes and their colors were especially pleasing to the eye. Thanks to all the staff and actors. I recommend it!

The performances for adults are very good, many people want to get in. So we only managed to go to two performances. Once standing in line for 4 hours, another time miraculously on the Internet on the site. We wanted to take tickets for January, we expected that sales would open on December 1, but a miracle happened on December 10 and naturally no one monitored the tickets on that day. It's sad, at least let me know when the tickets go on sale.

I went to two performances with my daughter, I really liked both of them! The performances are original and interesting, the child is delighted, and there is a lot of interesting things in the theater itself - a museum, dolls, even a buffet to look at - it is fascinating)

A wonderful team and repertoire. It is almost impossible to get tickets for some performances. A pretty museum of theatrical dolls. I recommend both children's and adult productions.

My daughter and I really liked it. Firstly, the staff knows their business to the smallest detail. Starting from the wardrobe and ending with the pirate cafe. There is a doll museum upstairs with very interesting exhibits. We went to a New Year's performance, from which we were very impressed: a large cast, a variety of costumes, scenery, dolls! It may seem to someone that the theater has been "forgotten" to modernize. But it seems to me that this is his highlight. I highly recommend it!

Finally, my youngest daughter and I went to the puppet theater, there was a Little Red Riding Hood performance on 02/03/24, in order to choose good places, you need to watch tickets for a month, bought online through ERIP, in principle it is convenient, but there is a fly in the ointment - you need to print tickets, it is convenient if there is office equipment at work, so-so in general. The performance was on Saturday, parking is enough on the nearest streets. The performance itself is of course very cute and interesting, there were dolls and live actors, they kept in touch with the children. The kids were definitely all happy, and accordingly their parents too. Anyone who has not been to the puppet theater should definitely visit, it's worth it. And for sure there is also a doll museum on the technical floor: small but interesting, so you can hang out not only in the cafe during the intermission

The theater itself is tiny, but so cute and cozy. It is sooo difficult to buy tickets for the performance. We got in because someone handed over the tickets in front of us. The artists are wonderful. The performance is great. Every time I visit Minsk, I try to buy a ticket in advance online, but so far without success. I recommend this theater to visit. There are performances for children and adults. I would have gone to a children's play too, to visit as a child.
The Pioneer cinema is also located in the same building as the theater. There is a mosaic panel of Soviet times on the wall. You can take a coffee and look at the panels. There are old movies in the cinema, which is actually why I choose this cinema. Because of the murals and old movies. I was looking at the Cherbourg umbrellas there.

We stayed with my mother under great impression from the production of "Notes of a young doctor" (based on the cycle of stories by M. Bulgakov).
It's really worth seeing for everyone!
An incredible embodiment of scenes that, as it seemed to me, could only be imagined in my imagination. Even comparing it with the film adaptation of Balabanov's "Morphine", this incredible atmosphere was created with the help of unusual props, lights, dolls and brilliant acting and looked no less worthy than the cinematic version.
It is impossible even to compare it, and it is not necessary.
I wanted to applaud without stopping.
Thank you very much for the emotions and the reflection launched after watching.
And to all the employees for the atmosphere, which was very warm and friendly. And in the wardrobe, and in the wonderful buffet, and in the hall.
Thank you ☺️
Have you already bought tickets for the next performance 🤍

I really liked the performance and the actors! Exceeded all expectations! We attended the play "In the land of unlearned lessons", it was interesting for both children and adults. These are not banal dolls on strings, it was a very cool mix of man + dolls in a variety of designs. The scenery, music, light: everything is on the level, very original. It's fun, instructive, and uplifting. A small hall, visible and audible, it seems to me, from any place. There is a small doll museum. I definitely advise and will come here also for children's and adult performances.
P.S. a test photo zone with a lady on a bench at the entrance to the hall

Unexpectedly! I liked the performance and the theater. As an adult, I appreciated everything: the scenery, the acting, and the humor...everything is beautiful. This is not a marionette theater, I used to think it was something else, but there are actors on stage. There are no disadvantages at all. It's rare. There were no queues even in the toilet, and there weren't many people in the cloakroom at the exit... You can see it clearly from any place.... We will come here again, but you need to take tickets a couple of months in advance and quickly sort them out.

I've loved puppet theater for a long time, I went even when I had no child, even to children's productions. It's a very soulful place. There is a little feeling that time has stopped there, for repairs and arrangement inside, but maybe this is even a plus- such a calm world without Instagram and tiktok. The performances and acting are great! Thank you for everything you do.

It's a beautiful place. The staff is polite, clean and the performances are interesting. The only small disadvantage is that it is necessary to print tickets, but if it were possible with electronic tickets it would be ideal)

We are from Syktyvkar. According to the reviews, we decided to go to the theater. I'm not a fan of theaters. We went to the performance "Sold laughter": an adult, children aged 16 and 12.
Just wow. Sorry for the slang. The kids are thrilled, I'm thrilled! I really liked the musical compositions! I really enjoyed working with the gym! I really liked the "special effects": huge hands (we even tried to touch them), flying trams, all the actors who "touched" the audience. But most importantly, I was lucky enough to read the letter that the woman was carrying to distract the guards! I keep it! Good day everyone!

A small theater with wonderful artists, interesting productions. Not only children, but also adults have something to see. The buffet is non-alcoholic) I liked the museum. The only thing that surprised the artists was that they did not bow after the performance (Little Red Riding Hood).

performance.
I was at the play "Notes of a young doctor" The first quarter of the play, in my opinion, turned out to be a little overplayed by the actors in the American manner (although I am not familiar with the literary basis - I am not sure whose merit it is to the author of the work or the director of the play). Starting from the second quarter of the performance, I really liked it, I began to empathize with the main character. The recoil and acting of the actors leave a strong impression. It wasn't boring at all, the audience applauded standing up.
.
..
.
The hall is cozy and pleasant. Because of the super popularity, there is a lot of excitement and people buy all tickets for additional seats, but they are not comfortable.
It is a pity that this performance is given so little. We've been trying to buy tickets for 2 months.
.
BUFFET - 4-.
Buffet is a Soviet approach: it's good that there is a buffet.
In 15 minutes, 1 barmaid served no more than 10 people. For a 3.5-hour performance, this is extremely small. After the opera house, the impression is a little wild - there are 2-3 ticket offices in each buffet and 2-3 employees at each. We need at least a vending machine for drinking, and as for me, then mineral water like Minskaya-4 or Darida, but not any rubbish like Aqua mineral or Sos-sola. You can add a vending machine for tea, coffee and chocolate bars, provided that the coffee is not a cloudy liquid. Many people asked for ice cream.
.
The toilet is frankly 3 balls.
The cabins in the men's toilet were built in violation of sanitary norms and rules of the Republic of Belarus. It is wildly difficult for a man of size 54 to turn around in a booth - you need to put the Minister of Culture there and shoot on video how he will be able to close the booth and the network on the toilet - the whole former USSR will laugh. The President of the Republic of Belarus simply will not enter there - it will not fit.
There is no toilet paper in the booths, for some reason it is at the entrance to the toilet room. What kind of idiot came up with this quest?
In the women's bathroom, there was a crazy queue of women rushing to the men's room with apologies, so as not to shit themselves. For a super popular 3.5 hour performance, this is a serious problem.
.
conclusion: Thanks to the artists and the administration for a wonderful evening.
.
We need to work on the buffet and toilet.
By the way, engineers and architects in institutes were lectured about this already 50 years ago, that there should be more women's toilets than men's, because a woman standing does not do anything in the toilet in the urinal and at train stations, gas stations, theaters there are 2-3 times more queues in the women's toilet than in the men's. The struggle for gender equality in the early 20th century in the USSR became the cause of outright stupidity, and during performances longer than 2 hours with an interval of 15 minutes and bullying of women.

Mentally. I watched Morozko with my daughter-an unexpectedly interesting game of actors.
The production of "Tuta Carlson and Louis 14" incorporated all kinds of puppet genre: shadow theater, live puppets and partially Del Arte. Funny.
The guys are young, still on the rise, playing with their hearts. I was interested in the voice of the owner of the farm)
Added:
Smart dog Sonya is a sold-out performance, after watching it you feel a stormy joy and emotional uplift! I highly recommend it! And there are also performances for adults!

Wonderful theater, just brilliant actors, wonderful productions. There is trouble with parking, but near the Kupalovskaya metro station, it is also Oktyabrskaya. The city center, including transport, has no problems. There is a buffet, without alcohol, but with delicious coffee and ice cream and all sorts of goodies. I recommend it, because this is a place for any age audience from the youngest to 18++

I like this theater. The repertoire includes performances for both children and adults. The ticket office is located on the left at the entrance. There, going forward, is a wardrobe and a buffet right ahead. The restrooms are located on the ground floor. The program can be purchased in the lobby. After climbing the steps, you can visit the museum. My top three in performances: The smart dog Sonya, On a black, black street and the Notes of a young doctor.

The new performance on December 29, 2023 was great, and the snow maiden is much better than last year's. But the play "Dunno" is very difficult to perceive by ear both for adults and children... I would like to see more than just dolls. The endless monologues of the characters tired, barely watched to the end. And the beginning of the performance was too long. But the artists are professionals!!! We recommend you to watch it! We will definitely not go to this performance anymore.
