[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Sancheong-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 5th that Sancheong Culture and Arts Center and the theatrical company Hyun-jang have been finally selected for the 2021 Performing Arts Resident Company Development Support Project.

This public contest project is hosted by the Gyeongnam Cultural Arts Promotion Foundation, and the county will receive 100 million KRW in national and provincial subsidies for one year.

The theatrical company Hyun-jang has the secret of winning the Best Award in the operation category of the Performing Arts Resident Company Development Support Project for two consecutive years in 2016 and 2017.

Sancheong Culture and Arts Center plans to actively carry out cultural and artistic programs this year in mutual cooperation with the theatrical company Hyun-jang.

In April, as a 'Family Recovery Project' asking the true meaning of family in modern society, the play "Banchu," which depicts the earnestness of wounded families, will be performed.

In May, the month of family, the plans include staging "Stage on Stage" for children who have been restrained due to COVID-19, and the theatrical company Hyun-jang's excellent family play repertoire series "Book? Book... Book!", "Woobang Tower Land," "Suni's Diary," and "Amazing Goblin."

In August, "Jeongisu (傳奇?) Story 'This is How I Heard It'" will be performed, along with the theatrical company Hyun-jang's top non-verbal mime repertoire "Junk, Clown."

However, the April performance will not be open to the general audience due to the impact of COVID-19, and the stage performance will be recorded and then broadcast through an online platform.

A county official said, "We will strive to expand opportunities for local residents to enjoy the high-quality stage arts of the excellent theatrical company Hyun-jang."
