Creative career so attracted Pyotr Naumovich Fomenko that he made a second attempt to get a directing education, enrolling in GITIS. Having successfully completed his studies, in 1958 he began work on productions of his own theaters.

Unfortunately, the first performances of the great director "The Death of Tarelkin", "New Mystery-Buff" were negatively perceived by censorship and removed from the stage. To date, Pyotr Naumovich Fomenko is the creator of more than sixty performances collecting sold-outs not only in domestic but also foreign theaters, among which one can mention such famous works as "This cute old house", "Old New Year", "Misanthropus", "For the rest of life", "Shot", "Blizzard" and many others.
