This research is grounded in the phenomenon of declining positive character traits among children, reflected in reduced self-confidence, empathy, discipline, and effective communication skills. This condition necessitates a well-planned strategy to foster a mental revolution from an early age through creative and educational approaches. Theater arts are identified as an effective medium due to their elements of expression, collaboration, imagination, and the internalization of social and moral values inherent in theatrical practice. This study aims to analyze how theater arts can function as an instrument for children’s mental revolution and to identify changes in children’s attitudes, behaviors, and mindsets after participating in theater learning activities. The research employs a qualitative approach using a case study design. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with instructors, parents, and children, as well as documentation of rehearsal and performance processes. Data analysis was conducted through the stages of reduction, data presentation, and inductive conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that theater training fosters courage, self-discipline, empathy, cooperation skills, and emotional sensitivity in children. Furthermore, theater encourages children to understand moral values through role embodiment and social interactions that occur during performances. Therefore, theater arts play a significant role as an effective medium in promoting a mental revolution among children through character formation, the development of positive mindsets, and constructive social skills.
