About Us
Jumbo Kids Theatre is a professional children’s theatre group founded in 1999. It is currently receiving One-Year Grant from the Hong Kong Arts Development Council. Jumbo Kids Theatre has been the Venue Partner of Ngau Chi Wan Civic Centre since April 2018.

The mascots of Jumbo Kids Theatre are the half-mask characters – Toasty, Ah Lam, Ah Lui, 2 in 1, Little-star, Ming, Cousin Wai, Smiley and Nam Nam. They not only represent our passion and perseverance, but also bring joy and reflections for both children and adult. Our new series of performance are "Children's Literature Series" and “Early Childhood Theatrical Production” which aim to foster parent-child reading and provides theatrical experience to children in early-childhood.
