The East Kazakhstan Drama Theater named after Zhambyl is a cultural and creative group in Ust-Kamenogorsk. The theater was founded in 1936. In January of that year, the curtain opened for the first time with Afinogenov's play "The Far Away." The theater troupe was first directed by Yu. A. Levandovsky. In 1939, the region was renamed, and the theater was named in honor of the Zhambyl region.
In its early years, the theater troupe staged plays by Russian and Ukrainian writers (N.V. Gogol, K.A. Trenev, A.E. Korneichuk). During World War II, theatrical compositions on patriotic and heroic themes were staged (writers Simonov, L.M. Leonov, V.V. Vishnevsky, and others).
