Armenia marks World Theater Day

Hakob Ghazanchyan, Chairman of the Theater Workers Union of Armenia, is sure that an interesting new generation is replacing old actors.

“They are a most interesting generation, theater is their purpose in life,” Ghazanchyan told a press conference on the occasion of World Theatre Day.

He highly appreciates the plays by young producers and performers.

“They are most interesting plays, and their authors are highly educated young people. I would like these young people to appear on TV more often,” Ghazanchyan said.

Armenian theater marks World Theatre Day by presentation of the annual award Artavazd. On Tuesday evening the award ceremony is to take place as well.

“Every year we try to make unbiased appraisals of performances. This evening we are going to select the best works in eleven categories,” Ghazanchyan said.

He is also happy to see more theatergoers and queues near box-offices.
