RAMALLAH, West Bank — A theater on wheels will bring theater, puppet and dance shows to underprivileged Palestinian children in refugee camps and marginalized areas by next spring.

The children's programs department of the Palestinian Broadcasting Corporation (PBC) inaugurated the mobile children’s theater on Nov. 14. This theater is considered the first of its kind in Palestine as it will offer diverse shows to children in marginalized and rural areas in Area C and regions that have been isolated from their surroundings because of the settlements and the wall, such as al-Aghwar area and the Bedouin communities.
