Wild Rice

Colonial District, the Quays & Marina Bay


Singapore's sexiest theatre group is based in Kerbau Rd but performs shows elsewhere in the city (as well as abroad). A mix of homegrown and foreign work, productions range from farce to serious politics, fearlessly wading into issues not commonly on the agenda in Singapore.

Many performances take place at the LASALLE College of the Arts, located at 1 McNally St, just steps from the Rochor MRT station.
