Almost forty children, led by Preschool Director, Eugenia Markosyan, teachers Metaksia Ghazaryan, Ani Zeynalyan, Maria Abulyan, Lusine Poghosyan, visited the newly opened puppet theater adjunct to the “House of Hovhannes Tumanyan” Center for Science and Culture of the Armenian Diocese in Georgia.

The Center’s director Gisane Hovsepyan welcomed the children. The children introduced themselves in a warm atmosphere, showed their knowledge, recited Hovhannes Tumanyan’s poems, recalled the heroes of the legends and fairy tales. Everyone was very happy when Gisane asked riddles, the children like adults answered the questions.

The preschool students were familiar with “The Dog and the Cat” legend, which they had performed during the New Year celebration. Now they had come to see the puppet show. The children’s reaction was remarkable, as well as their enthusiastic applause, laughter and joy.
