So is your artsy calendar looking empty? Are you done with museums and exhibitions and need to see some live performance in Singapore to kickstart your mind? The above list of upcoming theatres and musicals is just for you. 

While the above list may not be suitable for kids, you can also catch some kid-friendly plays and theatres in Singapore. If you have been thinking of taking your kids to the theatre, here’s why it is a good idea.

5 Benefits Of Taking Kids To Theatre Shows And Live Performances

  • Exposure: Just like reading, when you are taking your kids to the theatre it exposes them to a plethora of cultures, traditions and several historically significant events. The visual element is the added benefit, which kids can have in theatre. 
  • Appreciation: Your little ones will learn to appreciate different culture, stories and even characters and personalities they see on stage. 
  • Empathy: Making your kids watch and also participate in drama is effective in teaching them to understand other people’s feelings. When they do so, they will learn how to empathise.
  • Critical thinking: Watching theatres will also help your little ones to become critiques from a young age. They will learn to prefer one performance to another and disagree with a character’s actions. 
  • Gives wings to their imagination: A major benefit of taking children to the theatre would be to ignite the spark of imagination within them. 

Note: In order to attend the theatre, you will require pre-event testing. But, if you are fully vaccinated 14 days before the show and have kids under the age of 12 years, you will be exempted.
