On December 26 and 27, a truly historic event took place at the World Trade Center – the premiere of the first tourist theater, which brought together more than 600 representatives of the tourism industry both on stage and in the auditorium. Under the direction of professional corporate director Valentina Khomenko, Pedro Calderon's classic play The Invisible Lady was staged.
Half a year of rehearsals, acting and choreography training, costume and stage design – all for the sake of these two hours on stage.
“Of course, the emotions for our fellow artists were very high, because rehearsals and a dress run are one thing, and the first stage appearance in a full house is a completely different experience, but after the first stage it became absolutely clear that this was a success” – the producer of the theater project Kirill Volkov shared his impressions.
“Behind every dream that comes true is, as a rule, a happy opportunity and hard work. In our tourist theater, we give that very opportunity for those who are ready to put in the effort and time to make their dream – to become an actor – come true. I am sincerely proud of the high professional level of our non-professional actors. This is a unique experience that will forever remain with those who went through our theater school and found new friends and precious memories for life in it,” says Irina Vasilyeva, art director of the project.
Representatives of Coral Travel, Plaza Garden WTC, SK Hotel Management, S7, JSC TCH, Satguru Travel, UTS24, Smart cruise, Lady red travel, Golden Pineapple, Iness Tour and others were among the cast.
Ivan Samoshin, CEO Travelmart:
“I was struck by how deeply our colleagues, not being professional actors, are able to immerse themselves in theatrical action! When I realize the enormous work that was done by everyone to organize this holiday for us! All the best, and the organizers and actors and all participants of the project!”
The organization of two days of production with two casts in the first year of the theatrical project was a real challenge for both the actors with the director and the organizers. Despite the fact that there were only representatives of the tourism industry among the audience, nevertheless, a full house was ensured on both days of the premiere.

“The actors are great fellows that they were able to fully reveal themselves not only to the public, but to their colleagues – this is a much greater responsibility and they coped with it just superbly”

Konstantin Sholkov, Member of the Board, D2 Insurance:

Maria Rozhdestvenskaya, Deputy General Manager Plaza Garden:

The final chord of each day of the show was an evening program with theater actors and a buffet table, which helped to preserve the aftertaste of a holiday spent with colleagues and friends for a long time. The Santa Barbara band performed for the guests with hits from the 80s and 90s of the last century.
