Covering a variety of events and stories, these examples form a striking image by preferring the presentation methods from folklore. Folk dramas serve as a resource for children's stage productions in terms of structure and methods of animation. Folk dramas, street performances, and shahibs, which show greatness in covering everything from the old imagination to the present day, are characterized by their content texture and variety of animation methods. Stage works created on various topics are characterized by their ceremonial nature, the purpose of covering public content, and the feature of reflecting family and household problems. Collisions, dialogues, monologues, ups and downs and confrontations manifested at the level of events and stories are successfully repeated in different aspects, taking a place in the written branch of children's literature. As a whole, their analysis at the typological level and the functional picture they exhibit in the context of the essence necessitates systematic analysis.
