Lenkom Theatre

Moscow State Theatre "LENKOM" is the official name of what was once known as the Moscow State Theatre named after Lenin's Komsomol. It's building was built in 1907 to house a Merchant's Club, and was home to many theatrical and musical performances. After 1918, the building was annexed by the local party committee, eventually becoming the home of Theatre for Working Youth (TRAM) in 1927. Thus the future theatre established its reputation as a theatre for young people, by young people. Over its 80-year carrer, Lenkom has been a forerunner of new, fresh and exprimental theatre in the Soviet Union, and now Russia.
