**Nicosia Municipal Theatre Launches “On the Side” Summer Cultural Series**
Nicosia, Cyprus – The Nicosia Municipal Theatre is set to enhance the city’s cultural landscape with the introduction of a new series of free-entry events titled “On the Side.” This initiative will take place on the last Sunday of each month, starting from June 28 and running through the end of August.
The theatre, known for its central role in the cultural activities of Nicosia, will transform its outdoor areas and garden into an inviting open-air summer venue. The “On the Side” series aims to offer a diverse array of entertainment, featuring music, cocktails, stand-up comedy, and film screenings, all designed to create a relaxed Sunday atmosphere for attendees.
The inaugural event, “Jazz on the Side,” will kick off on June 28 from 5 PM to 11 PM. This opening night will spotlight three of the most vibrant jazz groups from the Cypriot music scene: Trio in Cahoots, Charis Ioannou Quartet, and Chunky Funky. The performances will showcase a range of musical styles, transitioning from classic jazz standards to contemporary jazz and funk-infused rhythms. The event is curated by Christos Yerolatsitis, who aims to highlight the rich musical talent present in Cyprus.
In addition to the live performances, an outdoor bar will be available, serving a selection of drinks and cocktails throughout the evening. Admission to the event is free, making it accessible to all members of the community.
The “On the Side” series is part of the theatre's ongoing effort to engage the public and foster a vibrant cultural scene in Nicosia during the summer months. As the city continues to navigate the challenges posed by the pandemic, such initiatives are seen as vital for promoting social interaction and community spirit.
For those interested in attending, the Nicosia Municipal Theatre encourages visitors to come early to enjoy the full experience of the evening's offerings. With a commitment to providing quality entertainment and a welcoming environment, the theatre hopes to attract both locals and tourists alike.
As the summer progresses, the theatre plans to announce additional events and programming as part of the “On the Side” series, promising a lively and culturally enriching summer for all.
