Reviews
"This theater is simply amazing. The productions are full of magic and soul and the group ensemble brings so much life to the stage. Aleksey Burago and his cast is a must see for any New Yorker!"
"I learned so much from Aleksey and all of the generous artists there. He really cares about each and ever actor! Aleksey has the amazing ability to infuse humor in interesting/authentic ways into every piece he works on. I made quite a few friendships there that I value and I enjoyed the classes I took there. Great place to train as an actor/performer and also make lifelong friends."
"The Russian Arts Theater always puts on incredibly beautiful and energetic shows. I was lucky to be able to take a course here and watch professional performances and I was always blown away by the creativity and the nuance of the actors. Definitely a place to check out if you want to experience something beyond the ordinary"
"The theater is full of love, art and family atmosphere!"
