The World Theatre of Children is dedicated to educating children and youth in the fine arts of communication skills as well as familiarizing them with world cultures by utilizing theatre arts as a vehicle. Children and youth will have the opportunity to develop communication skills, creative expression, self-esteem, relationship skills, group dynamics, teamwork, community commitment, work ethic, self awareness, and group awareness along with professionalism in artistic projects. Plays written for children and youth will be presented to the public in a professional format and workshops will be conducted in schools, both public and private, to foster the values of communication, understanding of artistic expression and theatre etiquette. By exploring world cultures, children and youth will learn to accept different ways of looking at, and experiencing, the world. Intergenerational programs will be a component of our programs.

Our teaching methods and goals will be consistent with the teachings of non-violence, conflict resolution, and interaction between different social groups. We will consistently develop venues for children and youth to perform for the public in area communities. Issues important to the development of healthy individuals will comprise the main themes of our works.

We are dedicated to the theory that children and youth should be able to enjoy professional opportunities to perform in the theatre through local theatre companies specifically designed for the child performer.
