**Nicosia Municipal Theatre Launches Free Monthly Sunday Events “On the Side”**
The Nicosia Municipal Theatre is set to enhance the cultural landscape of the city with the introduction of a new series of free monthly events titled “On the Side.” These gatherings will take place on the last Sunday of each month, starting from June 28 and continuing through the end of August. The initiative aims to transform the theatre's outdoor spaces and garden into a vibrant open-air venue, offering a variety of entertainment options including music, stand-up comedy, and film screenings.
The first event, titled “[Jazz] on the Side,” kicked off the series, showcasing local jazz talent and drawing an enthusiastic crowd. Following this successful launch, the theatre is excited to present “[DJ] on the Side” on July 26, featuring guest DJ Koulla P. Katsikoronou. This event will occur immediately after the final performance of “The Harmful Effects of Smoking,” directed by Kostas Silvestros, allowing attendees to enjoy a lively outdoor party with eclectic music and global rhythms.
In addition to the entertainment, an outdoor bar will be available, serving a selection of drinks and cocktails throughout the events. The theatre encourages community members and visitors alike to join in the festivities, emphasizing that entry to these events is free of charge.
The “On the Side” series is designed to foster a sense of community and provide a platform for local artists while offering residents and tourists a unique way to experience the cultural offerings of Nicosia. The initiative reflects the theatre's commitment to making the arts accessible to all, promoting a lively and engaging atmosphere during the summer months.
As the series progresses, the Nicosia Municipal Theatre plans to continue diversifying its programming, ensuring that there is something for everyone to enjoy. With the combination of music, comedy, and the charm of an outdoor setting, “On the Side” promises to be a highlight of the summer in Nicosia.
For those interested in attending, the theatre invites everyone to mark their calendars for the last Sunday of each month and join in the celebration of local talent and community spirit.
