SEVERAL THEATERS WILL BE RECONSTRUCTED
Support A1+!The buildings of the Yerevan state theater of Music Comedy after Paronyan and the State Puppet Theater, as well as that of the «Pan-national» will be reconstructed this year. They will be equipped with new equipment. «Today it is a must, as the theaters are still using the equipment from 1960-70s which is completely out of order», said representative of RA Ministry of Culture Razmik Abrahamyan.
The reconstruction is carried out at the expense of the RA Ministry of Culture. Razmik Abrahamyan mentions that it is not enough support as «theaters can survive only at the expense of the budget, and the money from the sale of the tickets is not enough even for current expenditures».
In 2003-2004 five state theaters were reconstructed thanks to the investment of the Lincy Foundation. Nevertheless, the administrative building of the state academic theater after Sundukyan has not been fully reconstructed. It is included into the Ministry 2007-09 plans.
Let us remind you that there are 22 theaters in Armenia today.
