They started to perform as ” Regional Drama ” from year 1981 to 1993. However\, they still emphasize in “Theatre in the Street”\, where a proper stage is not a must for a performance.

Their target audiences are not only theatre lovers but also anyone in the society and region.\nThey toured England\, Wales\, Scotland and Northern England in 2001. In 3 months they traveled to 20 cities\, performed at 58 venues and organized 22 workshops. The performance has been well received and it has received the Foreign Ministry’s ” Diplomatic Award”.
