New Purpose-Built Karachi Arts Council Theatre Opens

Instead of any ribbon-cutting ceremony, the purpose-built theatre was declared open with the staging of veteran actor-director Kamal Ahmed Rizvi's brilliant play "Aadhi Baat." After this treat, the newly furnished theatre house will soon offer Anjum Niaz's play "Paisa, Paisa, Paisa." Designed by renowned architect and current president of Institute of Architect Pakistan, Aqeel Bilgrami, the theatre house has been given an open-air arena for artists to rehearse their acts prior to their actual performance. This open-air arena faces the Arts Council's lawns, where performers can have their audiences.
