Several Theaters in Armenia to be Reconstructed

I have fond memories of theaters in Armenia, especially the State Puppet Theater, which I've always known as, "tiknikayin tatron" or with Tumanyan's name in front of it.

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.

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.

There goes yet another portion of my childhood. Goodbye conservative architecture, hello gaudy monstrosities.
