KARACHI, April 25: A leading stage and TV artiste is set to launch a permanent children’s theatre in the city. It will formally begin on Saturday.

According to organisers, Talat Hussain would organise and supervise the theatre, which would be staged at the Arts Council Auditorium twice a week —Saturday and Sunday.
