This paper describes a collaborative virtual environment, Teatrix, developed with the aim of bringing drama activities into a virtual stage. Drama activities and story telling play important roles in children development. Based on this premise and also on real classroom activities, we developed Teatrix as a collaborative virtual environment, where both drama and story creation are merged into a unique medium providing a form of collaborative make-believe for children. In this paper we will focus on the design, architecture and preliminary results of Teatrix, as well as on the future steps of the research.
