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 3 enchanting stories that inspire wonder and empathy:
The PLAYtime! season begins with BURP, a story about a man who finds beauty in the sounds most people ignore. He spends his days collecting sounds in special jars, using them as keys to unlock memories and feelings.
When played on his Incredible Sound Machine, these sounds transport him back to extraordinary moments in time.
But one day, everything changes when a mighty vibration rumbles through his body. A giant, mischievous burp is about to escape, and the Sound Collector is determined to catch it.
You’re invited to join this high-energy game of chase. Will the man be quick enough to trap Burp, or will it prove too slippery to catch?
BURP invites young audiences and adults alike to listen closely to the sounds that surround them and discover how these sounds tell stories.
Through this playful exploration, your children will discover how to recognize and name their emotions, and learn to understand what others might be feeling too - all wrapped up in 45 minutes of pure fun!
First presented in August 2024, this much-loved production is back by popular demand with a fresh ensemble cast and reimagined staging.
