Program
Childcare Workshop: "Kids Play Theater"
Dates: October 1st (Wednesday), 2025 - November 3rd (Monday)
Say goodbye to the typical image of childcare! While adults enjoy the performing arts festival, kids can dive into a world of creativity!
We help you enjoy performing arts while raising children!
Every year, kids say, "I don’t want to go home! I want to keep playing here!"— it’s that kind of magical, creative workshop.
< Program Overview >
"Come Join Us! — Let’s Create Together!"
Let’s make new friends by telling stories, singing songs, and sharing puppet shows and picture-story theater!
Everyone can be: puppet makers, illustrators, storytellers, poster designers, set decorators, singers, dancers...
We’ll bring together what each child wants to do and build our own "Kids Play Theater" together!
