Description of Our Community: “IfKids Theater Company” was founded in Taipei. Most of their audience are from north of Taiwan. The opening stages, rehearsal places, drama classrooms, offices are located in Taipei and New Taipei City. Taipei and New Taipei City are the center of political and economic activities, and they are also the most important place of children art and culture in Taiwan. There are many resources and performing stages in Taipei and New Taipei City; on the other hand, the citizens are able to get the latest information there. Therefore, there are many well known kids theater companies in Taipei and New Taipei City, such as PaperWindmill Theatre, Song Song Song Children's and Puppets Theatre, and IfKids Theater Company.

Project Description: IfKids Theater Company was founded by the Executive Chief, Chao, Tzu Chang. The idea was occurred when he told stories to sick children. Mr.Chao started to gather people who had different specialties and beliefs in the fields of public welfare, drama, and education. They wanted to use children's eyes and minds to express their feelings and watch the world. IfKids Theater Company had started to earn reputation after facing series of problems and frustrations. They overcame many difficulties and created their own performing styles with their passion and determination. We had the chance to be a part of the IfKids Theater Company due to our research. We participated in the rehearsals, watched the plays, had tours in the companies, and practiced the volunteering jobs. We had valuable opportunities to know the actors, actresses, directors, and leaders of each performance. At the end, we designed questionnaires to find out the advantages and inadequacy of IfKids Theater Company.
