The Mardouni Theater Company

Al Vega, the beloved Boston jazz player sadly passed in 2011. He was renowned for his skill and for playing with jazz greats including Billie Holiday and Miles Davis. But Mr. Vega was not the only performer in the family. His father, Nigol Vagramian was the founder of the Mardouni Theater Company from Chelsea, Massachusetts. This troupe travelled and performed around New England to great praise. Collections Curator Gary Lind-Sinanian discusses the group and the impact they had on their audiences.
