This is a tradition of performances in England, dating back to the middle ages. The Theatre Company hopes to combat the trend of passive entertainment by which todays children seem to be entrapped. The trend is for people to sit in front of the TV, having almost no interaction with the people and events that they see. These plays are an important tool, used to fire the imagination and to make live theater a part of every childs experience.
