Featured Projects - Tours in Action

Not your ordinary guided tours, these character-led tours are immersive experiences with theatrical elements. Here are some past theatrical tour events that have used heartfelt storytelling and convincing role-play to spread the lesser-known stories of Singapore’s heritage and history.

The Red Oil Lamp: Chinatown Stories Alive

A STB award-winning Theatrical Tour that brought the yesteryears of olden-day Chinatown alive through the forgotten stories of people who once worked here. Characters involved include Clog Maker, Majie (domestic helper) Tailor, Songstress and more.

Trails Of Tan Ah Huat

Another STB award-winning experience that lets participants get a glimpse of Singapore’s history on a bicycle tour led by Tan Ah Huat, a time-traveller from the 1920s. Hear about the lives of the early immigrants as we cycle to different key locations.
