Giving them a moment of happiness and joy”, were the words of Matías Antón, director of the Municipal Theater School.

The works will take place on Sundays, at 6:30 p.m., taking place one per month. The first will take place on February 25.

From the center it has been very well received, both by the management and by those responsible for the pediatric area. “It is beneficial for the boys and girls who are there because they will be able to share this moment, in addition to being able to interact with each other. Something that is difficult in many cases when dealing with long-stay income.”
