Natalia Gluhovsky
Natalia has devoted more than ten years to the theatre, creating vivid, multi-dimensional characters in both classical and contemporary productions. Among her major roles are Yelena Andreyevna in Uncle Vanya, Natalya Stepanovna in Chekhov’s The Proposal, Agniya in Ostrovsky’s It’s Not Always Shrovetide for the Cat, the Bride in Zoshchenko’s The Wedding, Molly in Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap, and Anna in Le Prénom (The First Name) by Alexandre de La Patellière.
Beyond the stage, Natalia is also active in U.S. film and television. Her acting range spans more than a hundred roles—from strict, reserved FBI characters to glamorous heroines in the spirit of Sex and the City.

Oleg Bliakhman
Since 2001, Oleg Blyakhman has been based in the U.S.—a figure skating coach and a former medalist at the World and European Junior Championships (yes, the medals are real). He also performed with the Nizhny Novgorod Pantomime Theatre—so he can say everything without saying a word. In 2016, he founded the “Testo” Theatre and has been in every single production ever since—because when it’s “Testo,” he’s fully in the mix.
Natalia Shkuratova
Natalia joined the theater family more than ten years ago. She is interested in Russian classics and, with special tenderness, immerses herself in dramatic roles, empathizing with the fates and emotional turmoil of her characters. Offstage, drama gives way to family, friends, camping, little adventures, and travel. And perhaps the most important and beloved role in her life today is being a mom.
Boris Sukharenko
Boris has been working with technology for a long time, and he is the kind of person who genuinely enjoys the technical side of things. Boris joined the theatre to support the stage team with lighting and music, helping everything run smoothly behind the scenes. His goal is to make every performance look and sound its best—so the audience can just enjoy the show.
