 Adress: Festival International Theatre d'Enfants
              7, rue Dolet 
                31500 TOULOUSE
                       FRANCE
An average of 15 plays will be acted during these days, interpreted by french
and foreign children from 7 to 13 years old.
As in 1992, there will be conferences and debates concerning Children's Drama,
and a
round table gathering the leaders of the Children Drama's studios. All
events are open to the public.
Since 1992, because of its international notoriety, the Festival has the
sponsorship
of the Ministry of Youth and Sports.
Because it has a festive and no competitive character, because it respects
the specificity 
of each one and the pleasure inherent in drama, the Festival is unique. 
This succes leans on a constant care to ensure quality and exchanges,
so that Children's Drama
can assert various tracks and get richer.
The internationalized stage gives a larger cultural opening and wishes to push
the boundaries aside for a better understanding of, and esteem for, the others.
As a solid vector of communication, the Festival obviously and naturally plays
an active part in our present society.

This event created by the Children Drama Studio, "La Petite Scene", of the
Terrasse Comittee of Toulouse has been increasingly successful for 7 years.
The Festival spirit is not based on competition, but on exchanges so that Chil-
dren's Drama can progress, with quality in mind. The distinctions
attributed during the closing session single out each company for what they did
best.
One essential objective is to keep the pleasure and festive aspect which define
Drama. The setting, the place and the day time partition answer these require-
ments.
Conferences and debates concerning Children Drama will take place in the 
morning.
The Festival publishes:texts of plays for children, advices for staging,
diary news and 
retrospect of the festival.
