Newest Creative Activities for Children start in January View(s):Somalatha Subasinghe Playhouse or Lanka Children’s and Youth Theatre Foundation has called applications for the latest Creative Activities for Children programme initiated to promote aesthetic interests of children.

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. This institution was incorporated in the parliament in January 2007 under the Act of Lanka Children’s and Youth Theatre Foundation, No.
