Theatre life of Tashkent began in December 1868, when a group of fans of dramatic art on an improvised stage did a show by the play "Stay in Your Own Sled" of Alexander Ostrovsky.
For many years, the city was short of theatre halls. Professional touring theatrical enterprises which arose in the late 70-ies of the XIX century in Tashkent worked many seasons in unsuitable rented premises.
The first real stationary theater building in Tashkent was erected only in 1894 for the repertory of N.D.Kruchinin. And it was an ordinary aestival theater in the city garden.
In winter time quite spacious auditoriums of Military Assembly (opened in 1885) were used for performances. Now the State Art Museum of Uzbekistan is located here.
