TEHRAN –(Iranart)- Iran’s Dramatic Arts Center has assigned stage director Atabak Naderi the task of assessing the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic on Iranian troupes and private theaters.
“We need to study the exact situation of the troupes and theaters and take action,” the director of the center, Qader Ashena, said in a press release on Saturday.
“This study needs to be done consistently under the supervision of one director, and Naderi is scheduled to study about the troupes and halls in detail,” he said.
