There will also be no productions created specifically for the Night, among which are the tradition of "Night Characters" and the discussion "Tomorrow Will Have Theater Too".
Ambassadors on the fifth Night of theaters are actors Vladimir Penev, Julian Vergov, Vladimir Karamazov, Ivan Burnev, Deyan Donkov, Darin Angelov, Ovanes Torosian, Deyan Angelov, Sylvia Petkova, Teodora Duhovnova, Ana Papadopoulou, Louisa Grigorova, Vessela Babinova and the world famous Bulgarian conductor Maxim Eshkenazi.
