These are stark words from a keynote speech at the Conference on Children’s Theatre Arts in Asia (Hong Kong‧2010).
Support us – help sustain family theatre in Singapore
Children’s theatre is absolutely vital to the lifeblood of Singapore’s ever-developing Arts scene – sparking the imaginations of the young, inculcating an appreciation for top quality arts, and hopefully inspiring some to become artistes of the future. As one of very few professional producing companies focusing on theatre for a family audience – usually labelled by the press as “Children’s Theatre”, we are all too aware of the current situation.
Known for our originality and high quality productions, we strive to stay at the forefront of this art form. However, producing a single original production may cost as much as $400,000.
Venue rental usually make up 50% of our production costs, and our production team needs to be paid too. We have maintained ticket prices at way below the current commercial rate, to make them affordable for families. However, this means we can no longer survive on ticket sales alone.
