The Armenian theater, which has a history of thousands years, based on the artistic understanding of life, enriches the inner world of a person and forms an aesthetic taste. This branch of art has been a constant companion of the historical course of the Armenian people for centuries. The mission has remained the same for all times, it is the dialogue of the high and noble at the intersection of old and new times. It is at this crossroads that "Endanik" SNCO center of Gyumri makes its contribution.The theater group of the center dedicated to the International Day of Theater presented the performance of the biblical parable "The Return of the Prodigal Son" to the audience. Before watching the performance, the students presented the creative thoughts of the legacy of famous actors in Armenian theater art, the most precious and at the same time the most fragile manifestations of imagination. Then a theater award ceremony was held, in a beautiful cultural tradition, the students of the group were awarded with certificates in the categories "Best Actor", "Best Actress", "Best Stage Speech", "Best Supporting Actor", "For Impeccable Service to the Theater Group". With the advice of Christian upbringing, the characters of the performance managed to convey the message of the moral parable to the conscious level and soul of the audience. Ashkhen Harutyunyan, director of the Mkrtich Khandamiryan State Drama Theater of Shushi, Artsakh Republic, was also present at the premiere, who expressed her opinion about the students' theatrical play, welcoming their artistic characters.

"Repentance to God, our decision to become a native house and the desire to change life, really small actors played about all this with very interesting episodes, they played, convincingly and most importantly, they were so real in the character. It is welcome that you are relaxed on stage and it would be interesting to stage other theater performances with you. I also want to thank the group leader, the administration, for keeping Christian values high, these are very important," said Ashkhen Harutyunyan.
