Overview
"Mini Playground Theatre," presented by iStage, transforms the theatre into an interactive play space full of surprises. This event goes beyond the traditional viewing experience where audiences sit and watch; instead, we invite children aged 3–6 and their parents to enter the world of theatre directly. Through interactive games and role-playing, participants become part of the story, actively influencing the narrative and enjoying the magic of theatre firsthand.
Featured Programs
The series includes two innovative interactive productions:
1. "Penguin Dudu Doesn't Want to Sleep"
- Date: December 19, 2026 (Friday)

2. "Empathy Toast Hero"
- Date: December 20, 2026 (Saturday)
- Synopsis: Toasting is always helpful and kind, yet often misunderstood or sidelined.
