5月5日下午，2018浙江儿童艺术剧团儿童戏剧节暨浙江儿童艺术剧团成立30周年庆典和优秀剧目展演活动，在浙江杭州湖墅南路上的浙江话剧团剧场隆重举行。

来自北京中国儿童艺术剧院和一些省级儿童剧院的院长、儿童剧“文华奖”“梅花奖”得主、著名儿童剧评论家，还有港澳台地区和海外从事儿童剧创作、表演的嘉宾，分别赶来祝贺浙江儿童艺术剧团成立30周年，并观摩2018浙江儿童艺术剧团儿童戏剧节优秀剧目展演活动。

展演活动丰富多彩

笔者也受邀出席了庆典活动，并观摩了首場儿童剧《玻璃城堡》的演出。

《玻璃城堡》是浙江儿童艺术剧团由《格林童话》中的《七个乌鸦》故事改编的儿童剧，作为此次活动的开幕大戏在儿童戏剧节首次献演。这是一个温暖的亲情故事，非常感动人心：剧中有位老裁缝和妻子生了7个儿子，由于他们很调皮，有时不听父亲的话。有一次因为父亲的一句无心诅咒，他们伤心地变成了7只乌鸦飞走了。这时老裁缝的一个女儿出生了，等女儿长大后，听到邻居讲出她有7个哥哥的秘密，便决定走遍天涯去寻找哥哥。她独自上路，历尽艰险，在太阳、月亮和北风、南风的帮助下，终于找到了7只乌鸦栖身的地方“玻璃城堡”，最后把7个哥哥带回家与父母团聚。演员们的精彩表演，受到嘉宾和儿童观众的喜爱。

在儿童戏剧节优秀剧目展演活动期间，浙江儿童艺术剧团为浙江少年儿童奉上一批精彩的儿童剧。其中，特邀中国儿童艺术剧院、中国福利会儿童艺术剧院演出经典话剧《卖火柴的小女孩》《马兰花》，并邀请天津儿艺演出2018国家艺术基金资助项目《少年鲁班》，青岛儿艺演出《阿凡提》等。6月1日，作为闭幕大戏，浙江儿童艺术剧团演出儿童剧《七色花》，为本次活动画上圆满的句号。这些演出的优秀剧目，让浙江的少年儿童观众大饱眼福，度过一个快乐的儿童节。

浙江儿童艺术剧团从无到有

庆典活动现场，有位身穿红衣服的老演员在一片热烈的掌声中走上舞台致词。

“这不是电视连续剧《红楼梦》中的‘王夫人吗？”笔者心中正生疑问时，舞台两侧的字幕上显示了两行字：“浙江儿童艺术剧团首任团长、国家一级演员周贤珍致词。”

周贤珍在致词中介绍：“1982年，浙江话剧团老团长程维嘉率领《集邮迷的故事》剧组，到江西参加全国儿童剧调演，发现首都和一些省、市已有21个儿童剧团，我们浙江却是由成人剧团去演儿童剧。这与有800万儿童的省份来说，既是一个空白又是一大遗憾。随后，北京儿童剧专家罗英、朱漪、程式如等到浙江调研，鼓励浙江成立全国第22个儿童剧团。”

1987年，周贤珍拍摄《红楼梦》回来后，领导就交给她和钱永明、邱志刚3位同事创办浙江儿童艺术团的任务。周贤珍的丈夫——曾担任过浙江话剧团团长和浙江省文化厅艺术处处长的顾天高，深觉这是身为戏剧家的他们应承担的重任。于是，他俩和钱永明、邱志刚等就一起策划、筹建浙江儿童艺术剧团。

组建浙江儿童剧团需要不少经费，周贤珍和邱志刚等人四处奔波求援。有热心的人，也有不支持的人，她甚至还多次吃过“闭门羹”。周贤珍为此流过眼泪，但在顾天高的鼓励和帮助下，她又树立信心，迎难而上。

功夫不负有心人，在周贤珍和同事们的努力下，以及时任杭州市政协副主席项秀文、杭州工艺鞋厂厂长俞金水、钱江啤酒厂长、天龙实业公司总经理朱成材和著名律师曹星等人士支持下，1988年4月12日，在杭州新侨饭店，浙江儿童艺术剧团宣告成立，周贤珍成为首任团长。时任文化部部长的王蒙挥毫为剧团成立题词，顾锡东、钱法成、于冠西、史行等文化艺术界领导出席了成立大会，《浙江日报》《中国少年报》等多家媒体作了报道。

浙江儿童艺术剧团成立之初，缺少演儿童剧演员，周贤珍和同事们先通过在浙江话剧团内调剂了朱富毅、周财利、陈珂等5位演成人剧的老演员来改演儿童剧；同时，向浙江京剧团、越剧团去借调，或者到杭州少年宫和艺术学校去物色新演员。团里缺少好的儿童剧本，就请顾天高、钱永明、虞哲杰合作编写了一部科幻剧《明天飞》，让演员们排演。接着，浙江儿童艺术剧团又排演了《老猪与小猪》等儿童剧，为少年儿童奉献了精美的文化食粮，受到了广大少年儿童观众和孩子家长、学校老师的欢迎。

另外，由顾天高、周贤珍和虞哲杰合作的儿童剧《嘿！小海军》在剧场演出后，广西壮族自治区委宣传部、广西电视台、广西电视剧制作中心、深圳电视艺术中心经过改编，合拍成6集电视连续剧。该剧讲述了滨海市某中学初中一年级2班的同学们去海军军校军训的故事，孩子们经过严格的军训，经受了种种生活风浪的考验，已成长为真正的小海军。这部电视剧在多家电视台播出后，1995年获得了中宣部第五届“五个一工程奖”。

30年坚持传播优秀中外艺术

浙江儿童艺术剧团成立以来，一代又一代的演职员们不忘初心，始终坚持“为了孩子未来的腾飞”而创作，先后排演了30余部优秀儿童剧或课本剧《赖宁》《小勇士马力军》《“希望号”欢迎您》《美不美》《手拉手，我们是朋友》等一批充满正能量的儿童剧作。其中，儿童科幻剧《明天飞》，在半年时间里演出105场，第二年演出272场，观众达25万人次，引起了国内儿童戏剧界的轰动。

为了做好中外文化交流，浙江儿童艺术剧团还把《安徒生童话》《格林童话》等外国著名少年儿童文学作家的优秀作品改编成儿童剧演出，让少年儿童们在生动活泼的氛围里，吸收外国文化的精华。其中，浙江儿童艺术剧团根据美国童话《绿野仙踪》改编的童话剧《奥芝国历险记》，在国内演出了930场，并获得文化部文华新剧目特别奖，是浙江儿童艺术剧团的经典保留剧目。正是在这出戏的基础上，前些年，剧团又以当代儿童的审美视角，全新打造了《果果的绿野仙综》，表现了“让童话走进现实”这样一个意境。舞台壮观不失精美梦幻，演员造型清新亮丽，给孩子们提供了一台难得的视觉盛宴，受到了小朋友的欢迎。

與此同时，浙江儿童艺术剧团还多次前往新加坡、德国和比利时等国演出，为外国的小朋友演出《孔子》《花木兰》《小猪与老猪》等中国儿童剧，把中国的优秀文化带出去。值得一提的是，浙江儿童艺术剧团还是祖国大陆第一个到宝岛台湾演出的儿童剧团。

据不完全统计，建团30年来，浙江儿童艺术剧团在国内外累计演出10000余场，在国内外传播了优秀的中国文化艺术。浙江儿童艺术剧团还先后荣获全国文化工作先进集体、浙江省儿童工作先进集体等称号。与此同时，团内还培养了吴燕琳等多位荣获中国戏剧梅花奖、文华奖、话剧金狮奖及上海白玉兰奖、学院奖等奖项的儿童剧优秀演职员。
