Several children of the city aspiring for theatre activities are being trained at their best skills by noted theatre personalities at Gandhi Bhavan. A month long theatre workshop is being organised for the aspiring students by Children's theatre academy.

Students are given assignments to apply in their theatrical personality and performances.
On second day of the workshop, children were taught the voice modulation and also the, subject improvisation and management skills as a director. While talking to The Pioneer, theatre artiste, Vaishali Gupta said, "To begin with the basics of theatre activities it is important for children to know that in what pitch the voice of the child has to be used while acting on stage." Moreover, she said, "It is also important to be patient and manage all the theatre activities with brilliance and this is what we taught as the vital basic of theatres, on the second day of the workshop."
