Steven Nguyen - the main actor of New Stage

Steven Nguyen had a connection with the stage from a very early age. He was a student of the late director Vu Minh. Around 2013, Vu Minh brought Steven Nguyen to the Idecaf stage, where he did all sorts of jobs, from ticket checking to small roles like soldiers, villagers...

After that, Steven Nguyen pursued film and took a long hiatus from the stage. In Xom tro lam tro , Steven Nguyen created attraction by portraying a character who is quite rough on the outside but is a very emotional person on the inside.

With Phi on the stage, Steven Nguyen shows people that he can develop his abilities in any field if he chooses the right roles.

Confiding in Tuoi Tre , Steven Nguyen said: "My starting point was at Idecaf, where the very professional working environment gave me a good foundation. At New Stage, I was able to develop more.

I like acting because it helps me practice my craft regularly, keep my artistic passion alive, be able to maintain full emotions for nearly three hours, and gradually perfect my voice.

I will be participating in another play by New Stage soon. I want to have a role that is silly and funny like me in real life, but it seems like... fate or something, my acting is not funny, only cool. But if I have the chance, I really want to try it!

Ma Ran Do - handsome actor on stage Hoang Thai Thanh

Everyone thinks Ma Ran Do is a stage name but that is the real name of the boy born in Binh Dinh and raised in Gia Lai . His last name is Ma, and his parents stylized the name of a football player they loved.

Graduated from Nong Lam University but because of his love for acting, Ma Ran Do studied with teacher Viet Anh, teacher Huu Chau...

He then worked for a while at Hong Van Drama Theater and is now a regular actor at Hoang Thai Thanh Theater.

Mr. Thanh Hoi and Ms. Ai Nhu wholeheartedly taught Ma Ran Do each small role. He was able to try many roles, even the role of an old man in plays at Hoang Thai Thanh such as Con me cuoi cuoi, Tra lai lia thia, Trai tim oan khuc ...

Most recently, after many supporting roles, Ma Ran Do was promoted by Hoang Thai Thanh to the main role in the play Run to Yesterday , starting Hoang Thai Thanh's new performance season this September.

Ma Ran Do has a very handsome appearance, is over 1.8m tall, has a gentle face, so he easily wins the hearts of many female audiences. In Run to Yesterday , he plays a poor musician, struggling between preserving his art and chasing after the hustle and bustle, losing his professional criteria.

It can be said that with this role, Ma Ran Do struggled a bit to master the character. However, he more or less brought a new, youthful breeze to the stage alongside Thuy Diem, Kim Tuyen, and Trinh Xuan Nhan.

Starting to be popular in the film industry, Ma Ran Do is still very patient with his career, sticking with each performance at Hoang Thai Thanh, a place that is considered a stage where the profession is extremely serious, maintaining quality in the city's theater industry.

Huynh Bao Ngoc soars to become the female lead

Huynh Bao Ngoc is a special case, she "flew up" to become the female lead in many plays after the movie Hai Muoi . The role caught the attention of artist Gia Bao, when making the play Escape room - Haunted house for the Young World Stage during the 2025 Tet season, he invited Huynh Bao Ngoc to take on the role of Mai, paired with Thuan Nguyen.

Mai is a pure and lovely young girl's soul that makes handsome guy Nam (played by Thuan Nguyen) fall in love even though they are in two different worlds. Escape room - Haunted house is currently one of the most popular plays at The Gioi Tre.

When the New Stage opened, director Minh Nhat boldly invited Bao Ngoc to play the female lead Ut Lanh in the play inspired by Nguyen Ngoc Tu's story A Love Affair .

If Mai's role is close in age to Ngoc's, Ut Lanh is the character with the age difference, and falls into an awkward situation of having a one-sided love for a married man with children.

In September, Ngoc also continued to be the leading actress in the new play of this stage, The Phantom of the Le Hoa Theater . Huynh Bao Ngoc believes that she is lucky to be assigned important roles in both movies and theater.

She said that in every field, she was enthusiastically guided by her predecessors. At the Young World Theatre, Gia Bao, Minh Du, Thuan Nguyen... supported her with the role of Mai. Through the New Theatre, she continued to be guided by Hoai Linh, Cat Phuong, director Minh Nhat and his wife, Nhu Truc...

She said that at first she lacked experience so she didn’t dare to act freely, but now that she has performed with veteran artists, she has gradually learned how to throw and catch, and create pieces to attract the audience. Having only played three plays, the girl from Can Tho has shown to be diligent and serious about her role.
