Children's Theatre - Kodomo Gekijyo (English spelling) children's theatre

Japanese: 子ども劇場 - こどもげきじょう（英語表記）children’s theatre

A theater dedicated to children and young people. It is also called a "children's theater" or "youth theater." Compared to general theaters for adults, its history is quite recent. Although plays for children have been performed in general theaters and halls for a long time (children's plays), the world's first "children's theater" dedicated to children is said to have been the "First Soviet Children's Theater in Moscow," which opened in 1918, the year after the socialist Russian Republic was founded.

児童･青少年のための専用劇場。〈児童劇場〉〈青少年劇場〉などと呼ぶこともある。成人のための一般の劇場と比べて，その歴史はきわめて新しい。一般の劇場やホールで子どものための演劇が上演されることはかなり古くから行われたが(児童劇)，子ども観客のための専用の〈子ども劇場〉が設けられるのは，世界では，社会主義のロシア共和国が誕生した翌年の1918年に開設された〈モスクワ･ソビエト第1児童劇場〉が最初だとされる。
