The desire for True and Beautiful art of the previous generation is like a flame passed down to now burn on Thien Dang stage. I only hope that my big brother Thanh Loc and my colleagues and classmates will keep the "Den Troi" (Light of Heaven) and the lamp of Profession forever bright, for a stage full of luxury and kindness".

Thank you, big brother Thanh Loc."

An artist can be famous, or not. But to be a famous artist is a blessing in this life. No matter what, I always try my best, just hoping that people can call me an artist, for me that is enough and full, because the responsibility of this title must be honed for a lifetime and may not be complete.

The play "Giang Huong" that was performed touched my heart. I cried because of a line in the play by a character. Because of that line, I have to try harder and organize my life more neatly" - actress Van Trang, who plays the role of My Tien, confided.

Listening to Thanh Loc tell the story, it was the first time they did lighting for a play, I didn't expect it to be so complicated.
