The story

The Studios in Esplanade

The Studios is Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay's annual platform for Singapore theatre-makers, presenting new and experimental local works in the venue's black-box Theatre Studio over several weeks each year.

The Studios was established by Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay as a dedicated space and season for developing new Singaporean theatre, addressing a gap between informal fringe productions and the polished mainstage shows that dominate the venue's larger theatre and concert hall.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Rather than importing established international productions, The Studios is built specifically to develop and showcase new Singaporean theatre, giving local playwrights, directors, and companies a dedicated small-scale venue and production support to try experimental or first-time work that larger commercial stages would consider too risky

02

The mystery stays covered

That focus makes it one of the more direct pipelines from emerging local script to fully staged production within Singapore's theatre ecosystem
