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.
