The article highlights the main features of the development of theater art in Mariupol on the territory controlled by Ukraine. The activities of the Independent Theater of the author's play «Conception», its repertoire and the main challenges faced by the Mariupol collective after the full-scale invasion of Russia are outlined. It was found that this theater became the only group that managed to resume its work almost in full in Ukraine. It is emphasized that it was the theater of the author's play Conception that was able to unite the people of Mariupol and revive theater culture in the territory controlled by Ukraine. It is noted that when the collective started its work in Kyiv, it was joined by actors from other theaters of Mariupol and Ukraine in general. In the performances «The face of the color of war», «Staying together», «Immigrant life» with the help of artistic images, the actors of the Mariupol independent theater of the author’s play Conception, who were in the occupied city until April, told the audience both their stories and the stories of people , who managed to leave the territories captured by Russian troops to the territory controlled by Ukraine. It has been established that the actor of the Theater of author's play "Conception" is the director of the children's theater «Tezy», thanks to which small and young Mariupol residents create stage images, work with literary works, train body plasticity and pronunciation, experiment and generate creative ideas as part of classes. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the fact that for the first time in cultural studies, the peculiarities of the development of the theater art of the Northern Azov region in the conditions of martial law have been highlighted.
