Theatre productions

Theatre for the international students at RSUH is an important part of the educational process. It helps develop student communicative  skills, perfect their phonetics and broaden their vocabulary - all while exposing them to a treasured Russian tradition.


 
Annually, our students give a performance at the orphan house which is supervised by the RSUH students.

"At the Russian State Humanities University I became acquainted with the Russian educational system, attending lectures and trying to make sense of the academic lingo and, afterwards, students’ slang.  This was where we skipped class to share a traditional Easter cake in the cafeteria with a group of Russian friends until the stern monitor chased us out to make room for table-less students.  It was also where I donned a pair of ancient suspenders, a faded, Hawaiian-patterned bathing suit, and knee-high socks to play Buratino, Russia’s Pinocchio, in a play directed by our professors," Evan Sparling '08.
