Cairo University has held yesterday a celebration, at the University Hostel Theater, for honoring the winners in The Theater Festival for Short Performances. It has been attended by Professor Gaber Nassar, President of Cairo University, Professor Ezz El-Din Abu-Steit, Vice President of Cairo University for Education and Students Affairs, Professor Nabil Khalil, Coordinator of Student Activities at the university, Professor Tarek Samir, Consultant of Art Activity at the university, Professor Ayman Al-Shiwy, a member of the Arbitration Committee, and Mr.\ Said Al-Bohteity, Director of Youth Care Administration at the university.

Nassar has said that Cairo University has presented 30 theatrical shows in less than two months inside the university. Thus, Cairo University students have proved that the university is not merely a place for demonstrations. Nassar has also pointed out that he issued directives to faculties and the Engineering Administration concerning establishing a theater inside each faculty at the university so as to enable students to rehearse their theatrical performances to create equitable competition among them as Cairo University is always the exporter of talents in all various fields (Scientific research – Music – Literature – Culture – Arts – etc…).

Abu-Steit has said that the rooftop of the rewards has risen this year in an unprecedented way thanks to Professor Nassar, President of Cairo University. The first place performance wins a monetary award worth 10, 000 EGPs, the second place performance wins a monetary award worth 8, 000 EGPs, the third place performance wins a monetary award worth 6, 000 EGPs, the fourth place performance wins a monetary award worth 4, 000 EGPs, and the fifth place performance wins a monetary award worth 2, 000 EGPs.  The theatrical festival arbitration has been conducted through The Academy of Arts without any interference of the university.
