People's Artist Thao Van (real name Le Thi Thu Van - Tay Do Theater)
Don't let the title sink into oblivion
That was the feeling of People's Artist Thao Van when recently the People's Committee of Can Tho City and the Vietnam Stage Artists Association invited her to join the jury of the Moc Quan - Nguyen Trong Quyen competition in 2023. "I was very touched because after 7 years I was finally remembered to contribute. In fact, when I was awarded the title of People's Artist, I became more aware of my responsibility to the stage, but I was also saddened when I was not invited to participate in any performance activities" - People's Artist Thao Van said.

She confided a lot about the years of dedication to Tay Do Theater. The roles that helped her receive gold and silver medals are still imprinted in her mind.
Even though she is retired, she still hopes to teach or work as an assistant director for her juniors in competitions, but after 7 long years away from the stage, she sometimes feels that retirement means unemployment.
Expectations for young actors
Joining the jury, she was excited to see many young actors making new strides in their acting.
Specifically at the Tay Do Theater stage, she highly appreciated the continuous efforts of Phuong Anh, Hong Thuy, Le Duy, Hong Giang... in 2024, which opened up many new roles for the young generation of actors in the Mekong Delta provinces.
This year, Ho Chi Minh City will organize the Tran Huu Trang Cai Luong Stage Talent Competition for the 3rd time - 2024. She believes that this will be a place for young artists to develop their talents. "I am ready to participate in supporting young people, helping them to transform well into their roles in the competition. Competing to win prizes is a beautiful aspiration, but the most important thing is not to let the profession decline, each competition, each collision with the profession will help young actors advance" - People's Artist Thao Van expressed.

Ho Chi Minh City will also organize the Ho Chi Minh City Theater Festival, for many genres, including reformed theater art. She puts her faith in the young theater directors.
"Every year, Cai Luong troupes in the provinces stage new plays, but there are very few places to compete in talent and help directors gain practical experience. Therefore, the Festival will create opportunities for a generation of young directors to develop their talent in staging, so that there will be many Cai Luong works with contemporary themes, close to the lives of the audience" - People's Artist Thao Van hopes.
And for her, each competition is an opportunity for artists to win more medals, aiming to be awarded the title of People's Artist or Meritorious Artist. However, she believes that titles must go hand in hand with responsibility. When an artist considers his or her responsibility to beautify community life, then the title is worthy of being associated with his or her name.
