About

The theatre was founded in 2013 by director Levon Sadaghyan, a 2009 graduate of the Yerevan State Institute of Theatre and Cinematography. Alaverdi municipality supported it, and Counterpart International sponsored it. It began at the Sanahin Plateau Palace of Culture and worked as a touring theatre from 2013 to 2015. Its first production, “Tales of Lori,” based on Tumanyan’s fairy tales, played in about 35 communities in Lori and Tavush, as well as in Gyumri, Vanadzor and Yerevan.
