TRAM (the Russian acronym for "Teatr RAbochey Molodyozhi" or "Workers' Youth Theatre") was a Soviet proletarian youth theatre of the late 1920s and early 1930s. It was established by Mikhail Sokolovsky in a converted cinema on Liteiny Prospekt, Leningrad. The theatre was run as a collective and produced agitprop pieces modelled on Bertolt Brecht; compared to other organisations of the time it placed more emphasis on the education of its audience and less on reaching the lowest common denominator.
