A
Pushkin Russian Drama Theatre
While Turkmen productions flourish, the Russian Theatre is dying a slow death. No longer supported by the government, the once-proud Pushkin Russian Drama Theatre saw its original theatre demolished and was moved into a smaller facility near Gunesh Park. Performances are held at 19:00 on Saturday and Sunday. Ballet and opera are not performed in Ashgabat, thanks to a presidential decree banning both.

Mollanepes Drama Theatre
Ashgabat offers some excellent venues for watching musical and dramatic productions centred on Turkmen folklore and traditional music. The best place to watch Turkmen drama is at the Mollanepes Drama Theatre. Performances are held Wednesday to Sunday at 19:00, although in summer (July to October) the theatre will probably be shut.
