Director of the Taganka Theater (since March 2015).Apeksimova was the
child of classical musicians, Victor Nikolaevich Apeksimov and
Svetlana Yakivna Apeksimova (passed away in August 2015). Irina was
the second child in the family; her older brother Valery later became
a jazz composer and pianist in the United States.Because her parents
worked in the theater and music (her father taught at a music school
and later taught piano at a conservatory, and her mother was
choirmaster at the municipal Theater of Musical Comedy and later a
choir conductor at a conservatory), Apeksimova was surrounded by
talented and creative people. She often stayed backstage at the
musical theater, where the child actors did their homework and
played.Apeksimova's parents divorced when she was in the eighth grade,
and she moved with her mother to Odessa, where she studied acting.
After high school Apeksimova went to Moscow to enter the Moscow Art
Theater School, but was rejected because of her Odessa accent. Back in
Odessa, she joined the Odessa Opera Theater and danced for a year in
the corps de ballet. She then applied again to the Moscow Art Theater
School but was again rejected. After this setback, Irina returned to
Volgograd and joined the Theater of Musical Comedy, in the corps de
ballet.
