Business Overview

In infants and toddlers, whose cognitive function grows rapidly, stage productions appropriate for their age are necessary, and we believe that opportunities for infants and toddlers to view stage productions are important. Research has shown that children's experience of watching movies has an impact on their development, and that it is necessary to lay the foundation for developing rich sensibilities and minds.
The aim is to continuously provide a place where babies and their guardians in the very short and special stage of infancy can enjoy performing arts with peace of mind, popularize baby theater, and foster creators of high-quality works.
This year's Baby Theater Theater Festival was held at two venues in Meguro Ward and Machida City, Tokyo. Baby Theater plays are created for children aged 0 to 2 years old.
