Gyumri’s Vardan Ajemian State Dramatic Theater visited Lebanon in November. Beginning on Thursday, November 8, 2018, a series of plays planned by Hamazkayin’s Gaspar Ipekian Theater Executive and performed in the Hagop Der Melkonian Theater Group attracted packed audiences every night.
The first night, “Harsanik Tikunkum” was shown, followed by “Siro Casting” on Friday, “Yerknaguyn Shan Achkere” on Saturday, and “Harsanik Tikunkum” again on Sunday.
Thursday night’s play, “Siro Casting” was a comedy focusing on three elderly widows living alone. They make a spur of the moment decision to get remarried. One even tries using the Internet to find her friend a husband.
