The collection of the museum contains the program of the play ‘The Red Star’ based on the drama by Majit Gafuri, directed by Lek Valeev. Its premiere took place on the stage of the Sibai Drama Theater in 1988. The production designers were Azat Mazhitov and Lek Valeev, and Mars Khasanov and Marsel Hudaigulov wrote the music.
The poet published ‘The Red Star’ in 1925. The drama told about the participation of peasants and workers in the revolutionary struggle. Gafuri showed what the civil war was like in the countryside and revealed the peasants' attitude towards the Soviet authorities. For this work, he was awarded the first prize of the Bashkir People’s Commissariat of Education. Nowadays ‘The Red Star’ is considered one of the first samples of the Bashkir drama of the Soviet period.
The founders of the Sibai Drama Theatre were graduates of the Bashkir Drama School: Arslan Mubaryakov, Gali Suyargulov, Saniya Yanbukhtina, Askhat Abdullin, Makhmut Khabibullin, Gata Suleimanov, Sakhi Saitov and Gashia Abzgildina. It opened in June 1931 and was directed by Arslan Mubaryakov. The theater’s premiere performance was ‘Revolt’ based on the play of the same name by playwright Anatoly Glebov, which the graduates presented as their graduation work.
In 1932, the theater moved to the town of Baymak and got a new name: the Baymak Collective Farm Drama Theatre. Many famous theater people of Bashkortostan used to work there at different times: actress and director Elizaveta Syrtlanova, theatrical designers Galiya Imasheva and Mukhamet Arslanov, composer Rauf Murtazin, musician and actor Ishmulla Dilmukhametov, opera soloist Magafur Khismatullin, theater teacher Gata Suleymanov and many others.
Directors Kadyr Bakirov and Giniyat Ushanov contributed greatly to the development of the theater. Between 1933 and 1936, they staged plays by famous Bashkir and Russian authors on its stage: Daut Yultyi’s ‘Karagul’, Nikolai Gogol’s ‘Marriage’, Alexander Ostrovsky’s ‘Guilty without Guilt’ and ‘Balzaminov’s Marriage’ and other plays. In 1935, the team of the Baymak theater took part in the All-Russian review of collective farm theaters with the plays ‘Alatau’ and ‘Karagul’ and won an honorable second place. The plays are performed on its stage to this day.
