First the Theatre of Drama Improvisations was officially registered as a charitable public organization in December 1998, later the theatre became a full participant in the cultural life of St. Petersburg. The theatre began its artistic way in 1982 with an experimental group "Theatre Workshop" organized by the students from High Trade Union School of Culture under the leadership of master P.P. Podervyansky.
