About The Little Theatre Trust in 330, Sixth Floor, Fountain Plaza, Egmore, Chennai

The Little Theatre began in May 1991. It was the brainchild of Aysha Rau. She believed that the education system was too stressful for the youngsters and they needed activities that would allow them to ventilate and develop their creative talents. And what better way than by participating in workshops conducted by professionals in dance, drama, art & craft, mime, music, poetry, puppetry, magic, photography, 3 D projects! At The Little Theatre we believe that learning should be a joyous experience. The Little Theatre has an annual membership of around 70 children between the ages of 5 to 14. The numbers are restricted as we feel that it is more productive to work with smaller numbers. The Little Theatre is a registered Trust with an 80 G exemption. We strongly feel that every child has a right to explore his/her creative abilities. The Little Theatre has been quietly helping underprivileged children by conducting similar workshops at the Corporation Middle School, Chetpet. Education scholarships are given to really talented children to pursue further studies. We believe that half the delinquency on our streets today is due to dissipation of untapped talents…

We just opened a new permanent theatre space in Nungambakkam: "Cheria aana". In this space we run Campfiretales on the first friday of every month (6:30 to 8:30 pm) for the 5 to 15 year olds .

On August 3, 2010 we started toddler theatre. These are theatre workshops for the 2+ and 3+ year olds. This is Chennai's first toddler theatre workshop....Registrations are still open.
