The 13th China Children's Theater Festival kicks off in Beijing

The festival will also highlight the theater's charity endeavors through its "New Era Seed Project," which is about planting the seeds of art in the hearts of young children, especially the disadvantaged.

In 2023 summer, its artists went to Guangshan, a remote county in Henan province, where theater for children was non-existent, and created two dramas based on local culture and history and trained local children to perform. This summer, more than 50 secondary and primary students from Guangshan will be invited to perform the two dramas at the China National Theater for Children in Beijing.
