World Day of Theatre for Children and Young People

World Day of Theatre for Children and Young People on Sunday 20 March urges everyone to “Take a Child to the Theatre today” – a reminder of the responsibility of the adults around children and young people to enable their arts experiences as much as they can.

Taking a child to the theatre means re-connecting with live performance, with ideas and emotions, with human to human connection and it means upholding the rights of children and young people to arts and culture and to freedom of self-expression. Listening to children and young people is terribly important – hearing them and accepting the need for change is even more so.

Ahead of World Day of Theatre for Children and Young People, listen to the voices of young people who explain why the performing arts are important.
