An agreement was reached between the region, the Greek Ministry of Culture, and the Municipality of Athens for the theatre to be ready for use this summer in time for a large festival scheduled for September.

The City of Athens pledged in 2021 that the theatre could be operational by the summer of 2022, which did not occur.
