ALEPPO, Syria — Theater is slowly returning to Idlib, through plays for children and a shadow puppet show performed by the newly founded Syrian Troupe for Theatrical Arts.

The troupe of 12, founded in November, hopes to continue performing at least twice a month. On Dec. 6-7, the troupe performed for children at the Arab Cultural Center in Idlib — the first theatrical performance in years in the armed opposition-held areas in Idlib.
