This festival, initially started as a
segment of the Asian Children¡¯s Festival, has been overwhelmingly
successful over the last four years, growing and developing each year. |

Last year we had the best response ever,
with most of our performances sold out or nearly sold out, and very
positive comments from our audiences. |

For 2005 we are VERY proud to present to you
the inaugural Asian Children¡¯s Performing Art Festival - A true festival
of theatre, music, dance, and multi-arts that runs in a spirit of mutual
support and co-operation, incorporating Singaporean and regional
professional performing arts groups. |
