Invited by the Zhou Kai Theatre Foundation of Taiwan, organized and dispatched by the China Friendship Association of Culture Circles, the crew of China National Theatre for Children (CNTC), leading by the Vice-president Feng Li, starts their 12-day, performance trip to Taiwan.

   From November 30 to December 11, the crew will visit 5 cities and perform 7 shows of Chinese Idiom Stories. Most venues are school halls and basketball gymnasium, so it means the stage setting is a challenge in every show. But the crew is willing to overcome any difficulties to give the children in Tanwai a wonderful show.

    The 1st stop is Shin-gang Primary School in Singang Township of Chiayi County. On December 1, the principal Shen Shuzhen, on behalf of all students and teachers, granted a Certificate of Appreciation to all members of the crew from CNTC.

    The 3rd stop is Alishan Junior High and Elementary School. On December 4, the crew came to the activity center of the school, which is comparatively small and simple stage, making the props hard to be set. At last, the show gave an excellent performance and added some interactivities with students. It is can be said as the most flexible shows according to the local conditions. Most students in this school are minorities; they expressed their high interests on the show.

The capacity of this theatre is 1800 with the width of 20 meters and the proscenium 18 meters, which is huge for a small theatre drama.
