"The audience can exist without a theater, but the theater cannot exist without an audience"

Students who performed today and showed their talents deserve special praise today. If they were able to tolerate me, then I believe that they will be able to achieve anything in this life. Viewers can exist without a theater, but the theater cannot exist without an audience."
Aizada Tynyeva - Assistant of the Dean of students of AUCA:
"For 10 years the theater "Debut" holds festival of friendship of nations in the regions of Kyrgyzstan. Last year in 6 cities of the country we held such events. And today, we are holding a charity concert in honor of the 10th anniversary of the theater. It involves mostly not AUCA students who are studying at AUCA at the moment, but the ones, who already graduated."
Azamat Arykov - actor:
"I often participate in such events. Honestly, I did not expect that students of AUCA will be able to hold a high level concert as this one. Acting skills of students are almost on a par with professional actors. Such events have their own rules. The concert should keep the audience in one go and it should be interesting to the audience, so they will not fall asleep. Concert of the theater "Debut" was one of those concerts."
