"Personalities" Theatre

«Personalities» Theatre in Kyiv: Modern, Versatile and Creative

The theatre was founded in 2014 with the aim of bringing the boldest creative ideas to life and challenging the entrenched stereotypes of the traditional theatre system. Innovative approaches and the relevance of the issues explored became some of the main guiding principles for the artistic team.

Interesting Facts from the Theatre's History

When it was founded in November 2014, the theatre became part of the infrastructure of «Liko-Grad», a residential complex located in Kyiv's Teremky district. The people behind the launch of this creative space included actor and TV presenter Petro Maha, actress Tetiana Maha, and director Mariia Pysarenko.

After 24 February 2022, the theatre suspended its activities, as many of its actors joined the defence of the country. Despite the uncertainty and difficult circumstances in Ukraine, the theatre's management decided to continue its work and provide Ukrainians with moral support through art.

Today, «Personalities» Theatre is located in the Central House of Artists at 1-5 Sichovykh Striltsiv Street. The move took place in 2023. The ceremony marking the theatre's reopening was attended by prominent actors and well-known media personalities.

In 2024, the theatre celebrated its first milestone anniversary, marking 10 years since its founding, with several exciting premieres. These included a satirical comedy by Norwegian director Frederik Molund and a new version of the legendary story «Chasing Two Hares», directed by Olha Onopriіuk.

Hall Features

After the theatre moved into the Central House of Artists, its auditorium was renovated with financial support from sponsors. The flooring was replaced, the walls were repainted, the sound and lighting equipment was upgraded, and dressing rooms were fitted out.

The auditorium has 600 seats. However, tickets are sold for only 543 seats, all of which offer a good view of the stage.

Repertoire

Over the years, the creative team of «Personalities» Theatre has staged more than 40 performances for children and adults. The productions feature both emerging talents and People's and Honoured Artists of Ukraine. The company's notable works include:

• the comedy of manners «When a Godfather Visits His Godmother»;
