Due to the shaped tradition, the year ends and starts with theatrical
performances for children. Of course, the year actually ends for
theaters in summer so that a new season of performances start in
September.

New Year-related performances really boost theaters, since at these
occasions halls are usually full of children. Sometimes, New Year
tales are performed twice a day.

Today, the theaters are well-repaired and heated due to the Lincy
foundation. So the children no longer have to wear jackets, coats and
hats during the performances.

However, the Paronian theater, which did not experience a repair, this
year has not performed for children, sparing their health, since it
has no heating system. The Sundukian theater had a great success with
children, performing` The Magic Night’ play.

Different cultural centers have been trying to create mood for
children at the New Year> If we also add the performances and relevant
events organizedat schools, as well as the major event on the Republic
square, we shall get a picture of a New Year start full of fun for
children.
