Lanka Children’s and Youth Theatre Foundation (LCYTF) or popularly known as Play House-Kotte commences its next session of ‘Creative Activities for Children’ program in January 2014.

Children from ages four to fourteen can take part in the program. Its prime objective is to develop the child’s mental and physical aspects and to enhance artistic taste, cheerfulness and playful sense of the child through aesthetic experiences. Therefore this program can be considered as an extracurricular learning that supplements the formal education the child obtains in school. It 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. The program is conducted by Kaushalya Fernando and Dr. Chandana Aluthge under the guidance of Somalatha Subasinghe, the veteran playwright and theatre director. Subasinghe founded Lanka Children’s and Youth Theatre Foundation in 1981 to promote theatre productions and performances specifically for children and youth, training of actors, and research on theatre studies. This organisation presently is the top most 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. This institution was incorporated in the parliament in January 2007 under the Act No. 3 of 2007 to further its quest for the young audiences in Sri Lanka. This program is conducted on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Janakala Kendraya situated near the parliament.
