Featured Activities This Week

1. PLAYtime! 2026 - Together

Image credit: Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay

Presented by Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay, PLAYtime! is an interactive theatre series designed especially for curious little ones aged 3 to 6.

Each production explores the world through a child's eyes, addressing their questions and concerns while sparking creativity and opening up meaningful conversations through the magic of performing arts.

This 2026 season celebrates the joy of play and imagination, bringing children and their grown-ups together through enchanting stories that inspire wonder and empathy:

Upcoming productions: 

  • Together (2-17 May)
  • The Amazing Sarong (14-30 Aug)

Image credit: Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay

About Together

Gor Gor and Mei Mei are stuck indoors with nothing but time and each other. Mummy's busy with back-to-back workcalls, there’s no iPad to turn to, and the walls of their HDB flat are starting to feel very, very small. Between the bickering and complaints, boredom threatens to take over completely.

But imagination steps in, and everything changes. Their ordinary home transforms into whimsical worlds filled with unusual characters and spontaneous adventures. 

What starts as an ordinary day between the siblings, slowly becomes something magical. Take this journey and explore beyond the ordinary with Gor Gor and Mei Mei! 

Image credit: Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay

‍A Playful Lesson in Connection

Together takes on the wonderfully messy, universally relatable world of sibling relationships with warmth, humour, and a lot of heart. Through Gor Gor and Mei Mei's adventures, the show explores how children navigate conflict, find common ground, and somewhere along the way, actually start to understand each other. 

By weaving in skills like problem-solving, active listening, and empathy, it shows how play can help kids understand each other and work through disagreements. 

First presented by Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay in August 2022 as part of PLAYtime!, Together continues to delight young audiences today. 

It’s a joyful reminder that even the dullest afternoon can become an adventure, as long as you’ve got someone to share it with!
