About

The company was formed at the end of 1925 in Kyzylorda, then the capital; on 13 January 1926 the curtain rose on Mukhtar Auezov’s tragedy Enlik-Kebek. It became an academic theatre in 1937.

The theatre has a Big Hall, a Small Hall and a theatre museum. Shows carry five age categories, and children are not admitted to shows outside theirs.
