7 things to know about bunraku, the traditional Japanese puppet theatre - SilverKris
"This Singapore venue hosted the country’s first complete bunraku performance on October 22–23 as part of celebrations marking the 10th anniversary of a cultural hub run by the Japanese embassy, demonstrating local presentation of traditional Japanese performing arts." - Joy Fang
It’s my second time watching a show at the Drama Centre. The theatre is still well maintained and aircon is just right. We watched a Mando Pop Musical - Partial Eclipse of the Heart by The Theatre Practice. Overall, it was a nice experience at the Drama Centre. I think having more choices of F&B at NLB would be good for patrons to have a quick bite before going for the performance.

Ample parking for the building.
Well designed seat placement ensure that even if a tall person is seated right before me, my view of the stage remains unobstructed.

Watched The Three Billy Goats Gruff and Animal Farm here. Conducive environment, interestingly located within a library.

Near to mrt, malls and so on. The place is very cozy and cooling. Decent sound system. Will be back for other events.

Caught Animal Farm at the Drama Centre Theatre—great experience all around. The seats were comfy with lots of legroom, and the aircon was just right. The sound system was OK but there’s some room for improvement. The show was a modern puppet performance where the actors wore the animal puppets on their bodies, which made it super creative and engaging. Strong performances and a fresh, powerful take on Orwell’s classic. Well worth seeing!

Was there to watch the play by Checkpoint theatre and also to support our friend who is 1 of the actors. It was my 1st time at the Drama Centre. Nice place n clean. We had a quick bite at Hanis at the ground floor. But, if u are parking there pls leave before 10.30pm before they lock it up.

A really lovely theatre for musicals! Our musical, Unforgotten, staged by Musical Theatre Limited, had great support from the live orchestra in the pit by the stage, and the acoustics were great even for the quiet-speaking actors playing frail elderly people with PTSD in the Home. The seats were comfortable and overall, we had a good time.
