Culture in Pusan

Leeland Ackerson recently visited the Pusan Cultural Center and brought back a schedule of their upcoming events.  I’ve never been, but Lee says it’s a great show and judging from the schedule and price it’s a great deal.  The shows are every Saturday at 4:00pm continuing until March 28th.  The cost is W2,000!  Wow! Check it out culture vultures.

The Culture Center has three venues, named aptly enough, the Main Hall, the Medium Hall, and the Small Hall.  The performances are held in each of the halls, but from now until March all of the shows are in the Small Hall.

The Pusan Cultural Center is sponsored by the Pusan Municipal Arts Organization.  Their phone number is 623-0179.  Tickets: is s  ? (Nam-p(No-dong) ,,??   ?  ???
