Ever since the foundation of the Growth Day Care Center in 1983, the regular performance is staged weekly by teachers of the school for children in the center. In 1985,"Pop Corn", a children's TV program, was cooperatively plotted by the center and Guangqi Agency, offering a weekly "Pop Corn Theater" for kids awaiting in front of TV. In 1987, the Shiny Shoes Children's Theater was formally founded, and received the sponsorship from Fen Tay Cultural Foundation in the following year. Not only for theatrical study in promotion of theatrical education, the newly founded theater also upgraded our cycle performance, which was initially limited inside small community, to a formal performance in the National Theater. It brings about pleasure for more and more children, and offers a platform of presentation and study for those who endeavor for children's play.

　　Thanks to the experience and ability in promoting small regular performance inside community, in 1992 the Shiny Shoes was able to establish the Shiny Shoes Children's House - a permanent home of the Shiny Shoes in Nan Kuang. During the following two years, opening performances were regularly presented every Saturday. The theater, however, had to give way to a governmental infrastructure project later. Nevertheless, the Shiny Shoes didn't give up thereby, and found a new location for regular performance in Taichung in 1995. We firmly believe that our ideal to promote small regular performance inside community will never come to nothing, as for the past 14 years the Shiny Shoes was sustained by a mysterious fountainhead, which always made our dream come true.

　　It is a community full of childlike innocence and activity, formed by students, youth of the community, and even housewives, who selflessly donate their precious time, wisdom and love. Although some of them leave every year, yet new members will join the team soon. Just like a river, it carries "the Shiny Shoes" to tread over high mountains, meadows and lands for children.

　　Sharing the same experience with them in the tough practice, singing the praise of their wonderful performance is not enough for us. Our special gratitude, on behalf of all kids, also goes to these performers and workers behind the scene, who endeavor to make contribution for kids whenever they are given opportunities. And it is my hope that all of our kids can follow them to affect others, and also be touched, emotionally.
