YSU theatre-studio had 2 performances in its program: Hello, out there, - answers Jim Dandy (based upon W. Saroyans works) and Qaj Nazar (a play by D. Demirtchyan) musical performances. I think that organizers were pleased with our theatre-studio, because we had not an amateur level, but professional. May be our plays corresponded to some criterions and we have got an official invitation for the 26th of June, - said Karine Davtyan, art director of theatre-studio.
The director of Highfest explained us that this festival has goal to challenge student dramatic groups. Now is the very time for them to show their skills and our Festival had a special program Fringe for students where different groups from Macedonia, Estonia, Croatia and Georgia were involved,-he said.
Both of those plays were put on the stage at the National Academic Theatre after G. Sundukyan. Good for them, they had spent a lot of money on these projects, - with such a delight expressed his thoughts Arthur Ghukasyan.
