UCLA Armenian Students Express Culture through Comedy with Vahe Berberian
Westwood, California - The Cooperage Cafeteria in Ackerman Union was not
your traditional afternoon eatery on Thursday evening. With the lighted
stage, UCLA ASA 60th Anniversary banner hung, and theater style seating,
the Cooperage was transformed into an `ASA entertainment venue'.
The UCLA Armenian Student Association (ASA) continued its tradition of
Open Mic Night by hosting an Armenian cultural comedy night with famous
Armenian artist and comedian Vahe Berberian. The events purpose was to
entertain as well as educate Armenian students and ASA members about
modern Armenian culture and assimilation in the Diaspora.
`The UCLA ASA is honored to have Vahe Berberian express his creativity on
stage with our members. Comedy is a unique medium through which one's
culture can be expressed with a humorous slant' proclaimed UCLA ASA
cultural director Lucy Tagessian.
The event drew in over 75 students and parents, all of which were excited
to listen to Vahe Berberian's latest comedic skit, `Dagaveen.' Berberian
poked fun not only at modern Armenian culture, but traditions and culture
in the United States as well.
`It is intimate events like these that really bring together the UCLA
Armenian community,' proclaimed UCLA ASA president, Raffi Kassabian.
`Comedy is always a great way to get students to take a break from their
studies. The ASA is appreciative of Berberian's dedication and efforts to
the Armenian-American student community.'
The UCLA ASA is one of the oldest Armenian-American student groups in the
United States. This year marks the 60th anniversary of its existence. The
UCLA ASA seeks to cultivate a true understanding and appreciation of
Armenian history, heritage, and culture through cultural, social, and
recreational activities.
