They also held master classes and round tables for participants in the republican movement.

“The level  has been set to the highest! There were amazing guys in front of us. To say that I am delighted is to say nothing. I have been observing them for several years and I see that every year they show more and more high-quality professional results, ”said Alina Ivakh, a member of the jury, Honored Worker of Culture of the Republic of Tatarstan, head of the troupe of the Moscow Provincial Theater under the direction of Sergei Bezrukov.
