Russian children will be able to attend theaters for free.
Russian Culture Minister Vladimir Medinsky proposed to make free visiting children theaters of the country.
Moneyless theater tickets are planned to be introduced in the framework of the new national project “Family to the Theater”. The goal of the project is to stimulate families with their children to attend theaters in their cities more often.
Medina referred to the fact that Russian theater abroad is the basis of the culture of our country, Russian productions are a huge success.
At the same time, in our country not everyone is aware of the latest productions even in their own city, and in the theater, according to statistics, parents with children are 1-2 times a year. Most often - on New Year's performances and once a year.
The new project should change the state of affairs and instill in families a good habit of going to theaters more often.
It is planned that free tickets will be provided. for children under 7 years old who came to the play with their parents or one of them.
Famous theatrical figures, including Sergey Bezrukov, have already approved the initiative of the Minister of Culture and stressed that the country will get a chance to raise an entire generation people in love with the art of theater.
