In 1993, four graduates of the variety faculty of GITIS created the Quartet I theater. The first steps to success were difficult – the audience was reluctant to go to the performances, and the profit received was barely enough to rent the theater premises. In 1995, the members of the Quartet I presented the play La Comedy to the public, which was a great success. The team was noticed, they began to talk about it, and the audience was drawn to the theater. The year 2001 brought the actors a resounding success – their production of Radio Day became the hallmark of the theatre. The participants of the Quartet I did not stop at theatrical productions – they became frequent guests of entertainment television shows, and then took up a new project – a screen version of their most successful theatrical productions.
