THE Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport on Friday unveiled 1,214 new theatre seats in the main auditorium of the National Cultural Centre (NCC).

Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport, Charles Ramson Jr. said the project, which costs $84 million, was executed over a short period of time, due to its importance.
The new seats were procured and made to specification in Spain.

“In a very short space of time, we were able to get the seats removed and installed, and it’s been a big issue for all of the people who have come to visit the National Cultural Centre over the years. And I think all Guyanese are going to be very excited that the seats are now replaced.

“I’ve tested the seats myself, and I think all Guyanese are going to be happy with the quality that we have here; and we expect to have a lot of great events. And people are going to be very comfortable with the new seating,” the Minister of Culture said.
