Vasco Morgado, president of the Parish of Santo António and author of this initiative that began in 2019, states that “it is always a great pleasure and pride every year to grow the «Walk of Fame» with more names of people linked to the Theater Portuguese as a way of celebrating, thanking and immortalizing the names of those who, on a stage, make us dream.” He also adds that this “is a gift from Lisbon and for Lisbon” remembering that “we can never forget the richness of theatre, especially because a rich country is also one that has its coffer full of culture.”
A ceremony always well attended by theatre artists, their families and fans, the Parish of Santo António – Lisbon, once again invites all theatre lovers to participate in this unique event, toasting this ancient art.
