With a festive mood and a lot of excitement, the fabulous theatre workshop "Dwarves in Drawers" kicked off in the USA during the New Year's holidays. This is the first Bulgarian children's theater troupe in Las Vegas and a long-standing dream of our compatriot Diana Nikolova has come true. 

"It was a wonderful theater celebration - we presented the play with great desire, the children gave their best," says the initiator of the event to Radio Bulgaria's contributor on the US West Coast Maria Samichkova.


The young actors are Bulgarian children aged 3 to 12 years who presented themselves as true professionals in the performance with adapted fairy tales "Christmas Magic" and "Kathy and the Bad Dwarf", skillfully directed by Miss Diana. Among them are Kosara Madzharova, Alexander Ivanov, Taliyn Naneva and David Nedyalkov, who talked about their roles and the magic in life.

The theatre classes of the children of Bulgarians in Las Vegas are extremely useful for learning Bulgarian, Diana Nikolova says firmly:

"Besides learning the Bulgarian language and learning about Bulgarian playwrights, children get into many situations in which they enrich their emotional culture, empathize with different characters. They are happy, they show sadness, happiness on stage, they are good or bad, and in this way they learn a lot about life," explains the leader of the troupe.

Diana Nikolova was born in Bulgaria's Ruse - a city with rich cultural traditions, and she was always excited about art - theatre, music, ballet. She herself has experience in an independent theatre troupe, and now she manages to create theatrical magic for the children of Bulgarians in Las Vegas.

"Magic exists and I want to wish everyone to believe in this magic, and to get lots of health, lots of love, more smiles and everything they need!"
