The first student theater festival will be held next week in Haskovo. The event starts right after the current "Theater, I love you!" Festival. The stage will be installed in Yamacha Park in the town of Haskovo.

From June 20, Monday, to June 26, Sunday, every night from 9 pm on the stage in the park will be played a graduation performance of graduating students. All classes that graduate in acting in the country are invited. Theater directors are also expected. The idea is for future actors to be together for a week, watch their performances and have fun. Theater directors will be able to see them in one place and thus support the realization of young people. Career guidance meetings are scheduled for June 21 and 22 at 4 pm in the theater, which can be attended by students and anyone interested. Admission to the events is free. There will be workshops in different places in the city.

The project "Stage At The End of Town" has been developed in full compliance with the objectives of the EEA FM 2014-2021 to establish broad cooperation between organizations from donor countries and Bulgaria to reduce economic and social disparities in Europe. Perceiving culture as a driver for local and regional development, organizations from Bulgaria and Iceland come together, focusing on the development of international cultural cooperation and promoting diversity in culture and arts, through the development of audiences and the involvement of people in different cultural, educational and information activities. The foreseen activities include implementation of various artistic and creative events, festivals, performances and initiatives, in order to attract and engage new audiences, which will revitalize peripheral spaces and inspire life in smaller settlements.

The festival is funded for two years by the project, and the idea is to continue after that, becoming traditional and attracting young audiences.
