Children from ages four to fourteen can take part in the programme, the prime objective of which is to develop a child’s mental and physical aspects and to enhance artistic taste, cheerfulness and playful sense of the child through aesthetic experiences.
Considered as an extracurricular learning that supplements the formal education the child obtains in school, the programme gives the child the opportunity to learn the basics of enjoying and appreciating music, free movement, dance and rhythmic movement, acting and language, art, singing, puppetry and handwork.
Conducted by Kaushalya Fernando, Dr. Chandana Aluthge and Mayura Perera, it is held on Saturdays from 9.00 a.m. to 11.30 a.m. at Battramulla Lion’s Club Activity Centre situated in Jayanthipura main road.

This organisation 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.
