YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 22, NOYAN TAPAN. Today Armenian theater started working and creating with new respiration. One may not say any more that "the history of Armenian theater finished" or "there is no Armenian theater." There are numerous young actors and directors who perform wonderful plays with trivial money and are honoured with prices in foreign countries. Hakob Ghazanchian, the Artistic Director of the Yerevan Theater of Young Spectators said during the interview with the Noyan Tapan correspondent. But, the producer is sure that it's the time to change the repertory theaters' working stile remained from the Soviet years which greatly obstacles both organization and creative works of the theater. "We still work by the old Soviet stile and use money allocated by the state productively. Even more, we can't discharge a bad actor with clear conscience, he can say that he's worked at the theater for a life, that the theater is his home, etc.," he mentioned. Besides, according to the producer, such people are appointed directors of theaters in Armenia, who don't know theater at all, have no idea about the theatrical work. Hakob Ghazanchian considers necessary a fundamental reformation for reforming work of theaters. "It's necessary to find a new stile of management of theaters, it's necessary to prepare cultural producers, it's necessary to learn lessons of American and European stiles of management of theaters," the producer mentioned.
