Outstanding American theatrical manager, producer, actor and director Philip Ardo, Founder of Center for International Theater Development (U.S/), has paid his first visit to Armenia to participate in High Fest. In an October 7 press conference held in Hovhannes Toumanyan Puppet Theatre, he expressed his gratitude to festival founder Arthur Goukasyan.

"Over the past days I watched Armenia and Iranian theatrical troupes' performances. As to European troupes, I'll evaluate them later in Europe. You'll know my opinion on the best performances of best Armenian directors in two years when I start my new project," American director said.

After watching Armenian performances, Arno will select the best directors to promote their further activity in U.S.

Philip Arno has also implemented a similar project in Russia.
