'Theatre For Children' is theatre that specialises in plays for young audiences. The story line is drawn from history, folk, literature for children, fairy tales, real life issues or a completely original idea.
Here are some videos of 'Theatre For Children:

Charlotte's Web- This show demonstrated the use of hand puppets in 'Theatre for Children'.
Due to the fact that my group is considering doing a show based on various Fairy tales I have been studying some popular characters, in order to determine which might be useful for our project.
I have also been watching 'Once Upon A Time', which is a TV series which incorporates Fairytale Characters into the real world, revealing both their lives in their well-known Fairy tales and their new lives in the our world. It demonstrates a way in which we could bring Fairytale characters from different stories together, as well as a way of modernising their stories to highlight real-life issues. It's also an example of how dark fairytales for children can be.
