Berko Children's Theatre Opens Curtains on Its 5th Season

Berko İlaç founded Berko Children's Theatre based on the value it places on social responsibility and the arts, and the theatre met with orphaned children at the Küçükyalı Children's Home. Berko İlaç, which produces projects contributing to society and the arts, has been bringing children and families together with theatre free of charge for five seasons through Berko Children's Theatre, established on the basis of this approach. In its new season, Berko Children's Theatre first gathered with orphaned children at the Küçükyalı Children's Home, and then performed for village children who had never watched theatre before at Kirazlı Village Primary School in Sakarya. Within the scope of "23 April National Sovereignty and Children's Day" celebrations, Berko Children's Theatre will meet with children throughout the week. The play "Berfu's Dream" will be staged at Marmara University Pendik Education and Research Hospital, Beykoz Galip Öztürk Love Homes Children's Nursery and City Theatre Children's Festival.

Bringing All Segments of Society Together Through Arts
