“ The most painful impression! December 16 was led by the so-called excursion Catherine Vyacheslavovna. I fully admit that she is a wonderful specialist in her field, but she does not know how to tell the story, and she also does not know how to tell. But the material is fertile! And how exciting and interesting it would be possible to tell both about the history of the theater, about its great leaders, and about contemporary problems. No, all behind the scenes, i.e. the premises hidden from the audience were shown to us. But nothing more. Excursions did not work. It's a pity! I believe that such meetings should be conducted by specially trained people, and otherwise - not worthy of the Moscow Art Theater!

“ Thank you for the excursion. Very interesting. I never thought that the device behind the scenes is SO difficult. You come to the theater, watch the actors' play and do not think about how many people are making a performance. A story about the creation of the theater, about its structure, about people who worked and work in the theater.

“ Was on an excursion "Zakulis" on May 20. Very interesting event. When you find yourself in an empty foyer, in an empty theater hall without spectators, there is a feeling of some kind of magic, the unreality of what is happening. The height of the stage is striking, which we never see when we are in the theater hall, huge squares occupied by auxiliary rooms, it's a whole block! Very literate and interesting story about the creation, the history of the theater. Very interesting, I advise all fans of the theater.
