Teatro Verde is a children’s theater company that has been a cornerstone in the lives of Roman children, teenagers, schools and families since its founding in 1986, with shows that engage audiences with a variety of theatrical techniques including acting, puppetry, clowning, juggling, shadow play, projections, and more.

Often addressing social issues, they are rich in color, music, and emotion.

All episodes are in Italian

Theater is an encounter. Theater is relationships. Theater is dialogue. Theater is a language. And like all languages, it’s best to start learning it as a child!
