Referring to the Southern theater stage, it is impossible not to mention the name Ai Nhu. Artist Ai Nhu's full name is Ho Thi Ai Nhu, born in 1961 in Hue city.

For more than 11 years as a director at the Hoang Thai Thanh theater stage, she and artist Thanh Hoi have conceived and formed more than 50 works. Half a life of bewilderment, Half a life of chalk, A rose with a lapel, Cry for me, 29 I'm back, ... are all successful plays in keeping deep and anxious emotions in the audience's mind. fake.

There are even audiences who are so passionate about Hoang Thai Thanh's drama that they have watched the play "Half a life bewildered" 58 times, or "Let's cry" almost 40 times.

Talking about the opportunity to pursue a career as a director, artist Ai Nhu shared: "Initially, I studied as an actor. After a few months, I had to quit school. For several years, I lived in torment. Actually at that time. I also wanted to study directing at first, but I thought I was too young, maybe I couldn't think. Then when I came back I was also 26 years old, I think now I'm more suitable to study directing. I was lucky to pass the exam. At that time, I thought there would be nothing that could separate me from being a director."

But to pursue passion is not easy, because at that time, the economic potential of artist Ai Nhu seemed to be absent. However, with the determination and support of relatives, Ai Nhu has also achieved certain successes.

Before becoming a leader in the Hoang Thai Thanh Drama Theater, Ai Nhu was a favorite actor - director - author of the Ho Chi Minh City theater stage from the mid-1980s to the end of the 1980s. 1990. Compared to many colleagues, Ai Nhu entered the professional path a bit late, after getting married and going through different jobs.

In 1987, Ai Nhu passed the directing exam at the School of Dramatic Arts 2 (now Ho Chi Minh City University of Theater and Cinema) and officially pursued an acting career. Although there is no advantage in beauty, Ai Nhu's talent is still known through many psychosocial plays about the human condition on Stage 5B, Idecaf such as Human Love Station, Unexpected Guest, Prize. Jackpot, A Stolen Life, A Life Story, The Madman in the Old House...

At the end of 1990, Ai Nhu graduated from the first class of director with the performance of the pastor's heart song. She was awarded the Golden Mai Award in 2006 and the Golden Cu Ne award in 2011 for the stage director category.

Eight years ago, Ai Nhu and the elite artist Thanh Hoi - a teacher and a like-minded colleague - embarked on building their own stage named Hoang Thai Thanh. After two times of moving the performance venue from the City Children's Cultural House (District 3) to the Children's Cultural House in District 10, Hoang Thai Thanh has become a familiar brand with a wide range of public and colorful. has its own identity with socio-psychological plays imbued with art and humanity.

Many viewers shared that, after watching Hoang Thai Thanh's play, they returned to love life more and know how to cherish and preserve relationships more.

In the plays of Hoang Thai Thanh, Ai Nhu and Thanh Hoi are not only "pregnant men and women" who spend their own money to set up plays and pay salaries for actors, but also play the roles of author, director, main actor, secondary, secondary...

Seeing the stage as a biological child, the place of her full passion, for the past 8 years, for Hoang Thai Thanh to light up the lights every week, Ai Nhu and Thanh Hoi had to overcome many difficulties and challenges in the context of the audience. The stage is not as crowded as before.

Struggling with the situation of the afternoon market of the stage, acknowledging the tendency of the audience to like to watch to avoid having to think too hard, but Ai Nhu and Hoang Thai Thanh, despite the difficulties, were still determined to reach the same criteria as building a line. Psychosocial drama dissects human fate, makes the audience ponder and draw lessons for life.

The price paid for mental stability and seeing the stage as a "sanctuary" when always maintaining kindness in art has made Ai Nhu and her companion Thanh Hoi for the past 8 years have not recovered their capital. go out. With the current situation, in order to keep the stage bright, they still have to try to release at least three plays a year on weekdays, year-ends and Tet holidays.

When watching a play by Hoang Thai Thanh, you can see that the investment cost is not small. There are also many times when Ai Nhu asks herself, what is she working so hard for, does anyone trade more and more at a loss but still continue? The family is heartbroken, working hard, many times wanting to fall because of loneliness, Ai Nhu still tries to walk on the chosen path.

Besides the quality plays, it is also remarkable that with the training of Ai Nhu and Thanh Hoi, through the plays on the stage of Hoang Thai Thanh, many artists have won the roles of a lifetime or become famous. actors whose acting ability is recognized by both people in the world and the audience. For example, Hong Anh, Hoang Van Anh, Tuyet Thu, My Uyen, Tri Quang, Truong Minh Quoc Thai, Doan Thanh Tai, Tuyet Mai, Luong Duyen, Quoc Thinh and many young actors such as Cong Danh, The Hai, Phuong Tram , Kim Hai... They consider Hoang Thai Thanh as their home, sharing the same passion and effort to keep the stage lit every week.

There is a saying "rice and clothes do not joke with poetic guests". Art business is not purely to get rich. I think, although in the money field, Ai Nhu is not a successful business entrepreneur, but from the perspective of branding and making art, it is clear that the results she has achieved are great and worthy. worthy of pride.

Ai Nhu often said: "If you have enough strength, you will still pursue your passion. If you are too tired, you will stop"! But being optimistic, keeping the faith is the message that Hoang Thai Thanh drama still sows in the public's heart. Therefore, I hope that Ai Nhu and her companions are always strong enough and enthusiastic enough to "drive" Hoang Thai Thanh to continue on the chosen path.
