Present and future “stars” will come to the MK Theater Prize

The competition was unprecedented

The most rapid, incendiary, still unsurpassed. All this about the MK theater award, which starts within the editorial office on November 1 at 15:00.

This year we are expecting such stars as Victor Sukhorukov, Igor Kostalevsky, Alexander Semchev, Galina Tyunina, Olga Prokofieva, Svetlana Amanova, Marina Khazova, Alexander Oleshko, Victor Dobronravov, Konstantin Bogomolov, Vladimir Pankov, Alexey Frandetti, Anton Yakovlev, Maxim Obrezkov. But the main thing is the young people who are about to become stars: our Theater Prize identified them first.

This year the MK Theater Awards will be held for the 28th time. As always, it is awarded in three age categories – “Masters”, “Half Masters”, “Beginners”. The choice was not easy: the competition, especially among acting jobs, was unprecedented. But MK made its choice.

The Moscow Art Theater received the largest number of nominations. Chekhov with the play “New Optimistic” by Konstantin Bogomolov, Vakhtangovsky, who has several productions in the top (“The General and His Family”, “Paul I”, “Amadeus”, “Warsaw Melody. Crossroads”) and the Workshop of Pyotr Fomenko (“Cherry garden”).

For the first time in recent years, among the laureates is the Theater named after. Gogol (“The Thunderstorm”, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”) and “Sovremennik” (“Bourgeois”). And also for the first time, the winner of the Theater Prize was the project of the Yuri Bashmet Foundation – “The Living and the Dead” directed by Polina Agureeva.

It is not every year that the “Person of the Year” nomination is awarded. However, this time we could not ignore such a historically important event as the restoration and opening of the Vakhtangov House in Vladikavkaz, where the founder of the theater was born and raised.

Unfortunately, two amazing masters will not come for their well-deserved reward – actor Igor Yasulovich and artist Stanislav Benediktov, who passed away this season. For them, the artist’s son and the artist’s colleagues at RAMT will receive a porcelain plate.

We remind you that the laureates receive a unique commemorative plate, which is specially commissioned by MK for the Theater Prize and produced every year in a limited edition by the Imperial Porcelain Factory.

Fifty people will gather within the walls of MK, and those who didn’t make it can watch the live broadcast of the award ceremony on the website mk.ru (live section) and on the page of our publication In contact with.
