Abstract

Professional theatre for children in Canada will be 25 years old in 1978. The continuing growth in the number of companies and the expansion of repertoire, particularly in new plays, is an encouraging and optimistic sign. The high rate of attrition in companies, the general level of playwriting for the genre and the low regard in which work for young people is held within theatrical circles is a cause for deepest pessimism — not only about theatre for young people, but about the attitude of contemporary society toward children and childhood altogether.
