In May 2022, actors and directors of Mariupol Drama Theater found refuge in Zakarpattia Music and Drama Theater. They are currently working on the first full-fledged production in the evacuation, a play about the life of Ukrainian writer Vasyl Stus.

Employees of the Mariupol Theater were provided with housing in a dormitory in Uzhhorod.

By way of background information: on March 16, 2022, the russians launched an air strike on the building of Mariupol Drama Theater, which civilians were using as a bomb shelter. Several hundred Mariupol residents were killed in the air strike. After capturing the city, the russian invaders cleared the rubble of the theater, and the dead were buried in a mass grave marked with numbers instead of names.
