The Lanka Children’s and Youth Theatre Foundation (LCYTF), popularly known as Play House-Kotte, commences the next session of its Creative Activities for Children program in January 2015. Children from 4 to 14 can take part in the program. Its prime objective is to develop a child’s mental and physical aspects and to enhance artistic taste, cheerfulness and a playful sense of a child through aesthetic experiences. Therefore this program can be considered as extracurricular learning which supplements the formal education a child obtains in school. The program gives the child an 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, Dr. Chandana Aluthge and Nilanka Dahanayake, under the guidance of Somalatha Subasinghe, the veteran playwright and theatre director. Somalatha 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 Parliament in January 2007 under Act No. 3 of 2007 to further its quest for the young audiences in Sri Lanka. This program is conducted on Saturdays from 9.00 a.m. to 11.30 p.m. at Battaramulla Lion’s Club Activity Centre situated in Jayanthipura.
