LOS ANGELES-BASED FRUNZIK MKRTICHYAN THEATER MARKS 10TH ANNIVERSARY IN
YEREVAN

YEREVAN, AUGUST 19. ARMINFO. Today, the Armenian Frunzik Mkrtichyan
Theater in Los Angeles, USA, is marking its 10th anniversary in
Yerevan as part of the Panarmenian cultural festival “One nation, one
culture”.

At their press conference, the founders of the theater, Rafael
Grigoryan and Gayane Karapetyan pointed out that on various stages the
theater performed Armenian authors’ plays, which enjoyed popularity
with the audience. Karapetyan said that the theater is chiefly
supported by donations of diasporan Armenians. The founders were
happy to be invited to the festival, as it encouraged them to come to
Armenian after a long interval and get acquainted with Armenian
workers of culture from various countries. She pointed out that the
idea of organizing a all-Armenian festival is brilliant. On the other
hand, she expressed her discontent with the fact that many of the
participants are for the first time in Armenia and need guides and
transport.
