Dr. Arundhati Bhalerao has directed more than 100 plays for children aged 6 to 15, providing them with a platform to showcase their theatrical talent. The festival features drama performances with diverse themes to encourage creativity, self-expression, and confidence. The event is held annually, and its goal is to help children gain exposure to the arts while fostering a sense of achievement. The 20th edition of the Children’s Theater Festival, held in 2022 at the Ghanekar Mini Theatre, was a major success. This initiative is part of the academy’s mission to promote the cultural and educational development of young minds in the community.
