Year 1927 - The official name is the Kursk City Theater

On September 20, 1927, the Shchepkin City Theater ceased to exist. An inscription appeared on the poster of the old theater house: «1st Sovkino».

By the decision of the provincial administration to create an «exemplary provincial theater», the team was transferred to another room - to the House of Ilyich (Yamskaya Gora Street, now Perekalsky Street, 1).

The theater gets its official name – the Kursk City Theater. The name of M.S. Shchepkin, without explanation, was removed from the playbill of the theater.

The new theatrical season opened on November 6, 1927 with the premiere of the play «Lyubov Yarovaya» by K. Trenev directed by V.A. Chirkin.
