It was important that the theater was located in the non-residential premises, and where it is not necessary to keep the desk system, and the price would be available to us. Happened so that the space is suitable, and the ceilings were low for the theater. The hall will be larger than the former.

Required just simply renew the lease with us. Wrote the Writers’ Union of Moscow, known artistic director Konstantin Raikin, George Taratorkin, Chulpan Hamatova two hundred known playwrights, such as Alexander Gelman. All were asked to leave our former premises. But it had no effect. All letters were answered and the Department of Culture said that it is not the state theater, and it has nothing to do. Astorgnut contract, and all we can do is to participate in the auction for the right to rent another room. The answer is quite opredelanny: you – not the state theater, so be on the same basis to fight rubles per room together with commercial organizations.

– You did not analyze who are the people who have made donations to support you?

Donations ranged from 30 to 50 thousand rubles. The spread is huge. And this is very excited about us, because we are so quickly collected 500 thousand rubles.
