\n \n MOLODEZHNY (YOUTH) THEATRE ON FONTANKA, founded in 1979 by director V.A. Malyshchitsky (main director in 1979-83), a leader of the Russian studio movement. Served as experimental grounds for the search of new theatrical forms. Aside from professional actors, the theatre company was joined by many amateur actors of the theatrical studio of the Leningrad Institute for Railway Engineers. The Youth Theatre opened in 1980 with the performance of The Hundred Bestuzhev Brothers (B.A. Goller). Among its best-known productions were Sotnikov (based on V.V. Bykov's book) and The Day Lasts More than a Hundred Years (based on C.T. Aytmatov's book), featuring principal actors V.I. Frolov, N.N. Usatova, and Y.F. Ovsyanko. In 1983-89 E.M. Padve acted as the theatre's main director. His productions include Music was Played in the Garden (a performance-concert), Cyrano de Bergerac (based on E. Rostand's book), Duck Hunting (A.V. Vampilov), and The Road to Little Dot (J. Steinbeck), and featuring principal actors A.M. Slivnikov, O.V. Melikhova, and A.V. Chaban. S.Y. Spivak became the theatre's main director in 1989 and its artistic director in 1992. Some of the Molodoy (Young) Theatre's performances staged by Spivak, such as Tango by S. Mrozhek, 1988, became part of the Youth Theatre's repertoire. Among Spivak's productions at the Molodezhny (Youth) Theatre are The Would-Be Gentleman (J.-B. Moliere , 1989), Madame de Sade (Y. Mishima, 1997), Killer Whale (A.N. Tolstoy, 1999), The Lark (J. Anouilh, 2001), The Holy Terrors (J. Cocteau, 2002). Directors such as A.V. Galibin, V.A. Tumanov and R.G. Viktyuk collaborate with the Youth Theatre. The company's principal actors include N.V. Dmitrieva, V.A. Kukhareshin, T.A. Grigoryeva, A.B. Oding, S.D. Barkovsky, Z.Y. Buryak, and M.G. Chernyak.
