The given article shows necessity of the continuous adoption of the art form and obtaining the artistic impression, which echoes in the children souls. The educational objectives of the theatre for the young spectators can be traced in the following areas: • appealing to actual dramatic works that help to understand the important aspects of social and personal existence, which stimulates the formation of his/her own view of life; • reference to the texts with the philosophical subtext that forms a holistic picture of the world and ability to broaden the perception of life. • taking into account the goal of dramatic work, like any work of art, the state of the individual that he perceives, i.e. deep catharsis (spiritual purification) that changes internal personality’s guidelines, enriches further internal development and improvement; • taking into account the pedagogical potential of works of art which are reviled through individual emotions since "artistically-shaped component in educational activities is a kind of "catalyse" of the creation process that helps to present the material more easily and clearly is required for the spiritual development of the individual". In the process of upbringing the children by means of a theatre the finest achievements of local and international art are joined, which of course, helps to develop person’s intelligence and to carry out different tasks at the class of literature. It is worth saying about the importance of the artistic value of the performance since it is becoming an essential condition in developing children's needs in the theatrical arts. Nowadays, the theater has to compete with such spectacular means as cinema, pop music, the Internet. This is especially felt among teenagers who attend the theater rare and rare. The researchers name three main ways of creating the aesthetic needs: the festivals of the youth theaters, the days "of opening the theatre doors" and different promotional activities to familiarize the younger generation with the full range of theatrical performances. The demands to the performance are so high that they must fully satisfied the increased needs of the modern audience. And, of course, as having been mentioned previously, it is necessary to form consciously perception skills of theatrical art that has its own characteristic features. The modern audience, according to critics, no longer needs to simplify the metaphorical language of art, because there was a gradual informative and spiritual adulating of the new generation, so if the director talks with his audience at the same intellectual level as he does, this will attracts his commitment and generate lots of interest. The increasing complexity of modern theater, therefore, caused by the need of time, reflects changes in the minds of new generations. It should be noted that the question of the correlation of artistic practice with children's theater aesthetic needs and attitudes of modern theatrical culture and needs of aesthetic education remains somewhat controversial. Instead, there is an urgent need to resolve it, because it directly affects the repertoire among Spectators’ politics. The managers of the Regional Russian theater for the young spectator pay much attention to the problem of aesthetic education of the younger generation, because this issue is very relevant, when gradually is formed a new cultural environment. Well-formed aesthetic perception of reality promotes harmonization of personal characteristics and the person develops its intellectual and spiritual potential, promotes creativity skills that help professional fulfillment in any area. In addition, aesthetic education is carried out in close relationship with moral education, the formation of patriotism, a sense of cultural belonging to a particular nation, religious group, as well as, tolerance towards other ethnic, cultural and religious groups that coexist individual. The theatre repertory policy gives special attention to the actual reading of Russian, Ukrainian and world classics as well as, to modern drama.
