ArmInfo. The first Theater-on-Wheels has appeared in Armenia.

The art director of the theater, Karapet Balyan, said at today’s
press-conference that the troupe consists of 6 actors, all of them
being students of the Theater Institute. "On Fridays, Saturdays
and Sundays we’ll give 3- 4 performances a day. They will mostly be
15-minute sketches with pantomime elements",- he said.

Balyan pointed out that the theater will renew its repertory once
every two weeks. Thus, the Theater-on- Wheels will give 20-25
performances a year. The theater has already chosen some key places
for its performances: the Northern Avenue, Park of Lovers, "Poplavok",
Cascade and Kirov’s Park. In addition, performances will also be given
at orphanages, kindergartens, and adult residential homes. "We hope
that in the future we will be able to give performances not only in
Yerevan, but also in the regions of Armenia", Balyan said and added
that the Theater-on-Wheels has no sponsor, and the actors stage all
the performances at their own expense. "Our goal is not earning money.

We just want to gift joy and smiles to people",- he stressed.

To note, the first performance of the Theater-on-Wheels will be held
at the Northern Avenue on 23 April, at 4:15 pm.
