Children of ages four to fourteen can take part in the programme and its prime objective is to develop their mental and physical aspects and to enhance artistic taste, cheerfulness and the playful sense of the child through aesthetic experiences.
Conducted by Kaushalya Fernando, Dr. Chandana Aluthge and Nilanka Dahanayake, the programme is conducted on Saturdays from 9.00 a.m. to 11.30 p.m. at Battramulla Lion’s Club Activity Centre situated down Jayanthipura main road.

It presently is the topmost institution for children’s and youth theatre productions in Sri Lanka. Since 1981 the organisation has produced a repertoire of mainly musical theatre for children and youth and mainstream art theatre productions and performed them in the island as well as abroad.
