[Asia Economy Reporter Park Byung-hee] Interpark Theater, which operates multiple performance venues including Blue Square and Ewha Womans University Samsung Hall, will support 20-50% of the rental fees for non-face-to-face performance art content at its affiliated venues.

The rental fee support applies only to non-face-to-face content operated without on-site audiences or participants and is applicable to Blue Square I Market Hall, Hapjeong Station Shinhan Card Fansquare, Ewha Womans University Samsung Hall, and Busan Sohyang Theater Shinhan Card Hall among Interpark Theater’s affiliated venues.
