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:
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!
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!

Step into a larger-than-life art experience with David Hockney: Bigger & Closer (Not Smaller & Further Away), an immersive visual show that puts you right inside the creative mind of one of the most influential artists of our time.
Brought to Singapore in collaboration with Lightroom London, this immersive experience explores how Hockney has spent decades challenging the way people see the world, across painting, photography, drawing, and digital media.
Large-scale projections, layered sound, and dynamic spatial design guide you through his creative process, from early experiments with perspective, to his fearless embrace of colour and new technologies.
The projections are so enveloping that at times we felt like we were standing right beside Hockney, and at others, like we've stepped straight into one of his paintings.
The focus is on how Hockney sees and how scale, proximity, and attention can turn a garden, a road, or a quiet afternoon into something you can't look away from.
Playful and contemplative in equal measure, the show asks you to do something surprisingly simple: slow down, look closer, and remember what it feels like to really notice things.
