About the place
The theatre began in 1929 as an Uzbek studio built around the puppet troupe of Tashkent's Russian youth theatre, and became a professional company in 1930. After a short merger with a Bukhara theatre it closed in 1933, then reopened in Tashkent in 1934; graduates of the Lahuti theatre studio joined in 1937.
It carries the name of Yuldash Akhunbabaev and has been a member of ASSITEJ, the international association of theatres for young audiences, since 2018. Check its website for the current programme.
