Programme line-up:

The Little Company
Designed to enthrall all from ages 2 to 102, don’t miss the highly exciting segment consisting of songs from The Ugly Duckling (originally presented as part of global celebrations to mark Hans Christian Andersen’s bicentenary in 2005) and their hit musical The Snow Queen for free!

Players Theatre
The group will present If You Give A Mouse A Cookie, a delightful story based on the best selling book by Laura J. Numeroff. Incorporating strong visuals, toe-tapping songs, creative staging and wonderful puppetry, If You Give A Mouse A Cookie is one wild, imaginative, laugh inducing, roller-coaster of a ride where the end takes you right back to the beginning. An extraordinary piece of theatre for children, young people and families!

Mayflower Primary School
A 6-gold medallist winner in the biennial Singapore Youth Festival dance competition, the school’s malay dance group performs an energetic and vibrant dance number titled Desaku Permai (My Serene Village), portraying the serenity of kampong life, the joy of childhood and the versatility of the young. Followed by the cute little Qian Gu Wa Wa (Drum Dolls), whose joyful expressions bring life and energy to the dance segment.
