Presentation Title: Children’s Theater in Algeria: Structural Function,
Influence, and Issues
Abstract
Human beings go through various stages during their growth period, with childhood being one of the most critical stages. It requires special care from both the family and society in shaping the child’s personality, as they are the future youth who will contribute to building their community. Children’s theater plays a significant role in developing the child’s personality and addressing their psychology. It captures the child’s attention while delivering messages that align with their intellectual level, providing knowledge, fostering noble values, and instilling good morals alongside entertainment. Therefore, the Algerian society must pay more attention to children’s theater and intensify efforts to revive it after the stagnation caused by neglect, intentional or otherwise. This audience is akin to a blank slate, ready to be inscribed upon.
