MOST may seem like one of the younger theatres in Moscow, founded in 2000. However, it evolved from the student theatre (more than 200 years old) of the Lomonosov Moscow State University, which started the careers of many prominent Russian directors and actors. Nowadays MOST has a great repertoire for both adults and children.
