The State Dramatic Theatre on Liteinyi Prospect (Государственный драматический Театр на Литейном) is a theatre at 51 Liteinyi Prospect, Saint Petersburg. It was founded in 1909.[1] Konstantin Tverskoy worked at the Liteinyi Theatre as director,[2] Savely Schleifer (1881-1943) as designer.[3] The Narodnaia Komedia (January 1920) took up Meyerhold's experiments from the Liteyni and Hermitage Theatre.[4]

In 1993 the Liteinyi's theatre troup toured America with a production of George Bernard Shaw's Great Catherine in Russian.[5]
