Synopsis:

Interested in the art and craft of Theatre-Making? If you're aged 13 to 17 years old, come audition to join Wild Rice for the 2022 edition of Singapore Youth Theatre!

Wild Rice's Singapore Youth Theatre programme is a holistic theatre-making initiative – the only one of its kind in Singapore – that has been created especially for young people. Our mission is to provide a platform for youths to make and present theatre that speaks to and for people of their own generation.

Participants will gain first-hand experience of how to make theatre – from writing and directing to performing. At the end of the programme, participants will stage an original production under the guidance and direction of a professional creative team.

No prior acting or theatre-making experience is necessary. All you need to be a part of Singapore Youth Theatre is a passion for the magic of theatre and a willingness to learn!

- Your contact details
- A simple write-up of no more than 150 words on why you are keen to join this programme

A NOTE ON THE AUDITION

Please do not get too stressed about the audition – it is not a test. We just want the opportunity to get to know you better by hearing you read something written for the stage. This is, after all, a programme for aspiring theatre-makers to learn together.

If you need any suggestions for monologues, please let us know and we'll be happy to suggest a few that you may be interested in.
