Play away that summer holiday boredom

By Max Hirsch  /  STAFF REPORTER

A mini-film festival is also included in this year's children's arts festival; 10 movies geared towards younger audiences will be shown throughout the festival at museums and the Taipei Library. Times and locations are listed on pages 18 and 19 of the Kid Passport, and can also be found at movie.sco.com.tw/movie/mindex.htm. The passport also lists the participating cultural centers and museums, detailing what they will offer in terms of their exhibits and/or activities.

For those who can't locate a passport (they seem to be in short supply at MRT stations), the organizers have an English-language Web site which can be found at kids.culture.gov.tw/ec/en_index.htm and which lists theater performance times and locations. Free outdoor performances will be held nightly from tomorrow through Wednesday starting each day at 6pm, at the Songshan Tobacco Factory.

Free evening plays will also be held from Aug. 8 to Aug. 12, also starting at 6pm, at Da-an Park. Each show will be performed by a different troupe.

Shows for which tickets are being sold will be held at either Zhongshan Hall (台北市中山堂) or the Taipei Cultural Center, Wenshan Branch (社教館文山分館). Detailed information is included on the festival's Web site or in the “Kid Passports.”
