Most have been established for several years, with the "senior" being the Heritage Drama Company from Kaohsiung, set up in 1983. The others--the Taitung Civil Service Drama Company, the Taichung Viewpoint Drama Workshop, and the Tainan Chinese Lantern Theater--all have four or five years under their belts.
他們多已成立經年，其中最「年長」的高雄薪傳劇團成立於民國七十二年，其餘的台東公教劇團、台中觀點劇坊和台南華燈劇團也都有四、五年歷史。
