The play draws from stories, ideas and drawings shared by children in Singapore through organised workshops and an open call submission. It hopes to give children and adults alike the language to have honest conversations about bullying.

In addition, take part in an interactive performance, The Legend of Bukit Merah, where you’ll learn all about the history of Bukit Merah (Redhill) and how it got its name. What makes the show even more interesting is the use of an indoor obstacle course with six different stations as story chapters. 

Hello Pen Pal! is a free performance with activities you can do with the little ones for families on a budget

Background: Francesca Tiong is not your ordinary auntie. She is chatty, loud, loves to dance and sing, but her most extraordinary love is writing letters to her pen pals. She has so many letters in that suitcase, but who are her pen pals? What is written in her letters? What stories do you think she has from all the exchange of letters?

Join Francesca as she lets you in on her favourite hobby, and in some parts, you might find some of her pen pals somewhat familiar if you pay great attention. Who knows, you might just find a pen pal yourself!
