ABOUT young & W!LD

young & W!LD is a new division of W!LD RICE committed to training and nurturing Singapore’s most promising young talents. This innovative actor-training programme aims to prepare Singapore’s next generation of actors and theatre practitioners.

Since April 2006, 14 young actors have undergone months of intensive workshops – exploring the many facets of theatre practice and developing their craft through a combination of theoretical exploration, critical discussion and practical project work.

Led by W!LD RICE’s Associate Artistic Director Jonathan Lim, and trained by guest practitioners like Kuo Jinghong, Bang Wenfu and Sim Pern Yiau, young & W!LD have been exploring a wide range of theatrical forms -from Greek theatre to physical theatre, naturalism to musical theatre.

And now, they are eager to meet YOU, the audience! From June 2007, young & W!LD enter a new phase of their ongoing development–by presenting an exciting range of theatre productions, stretching from musical revues to Shakespeare, from international classics to local gems. young & W!LD seeks to offer the Singapore audience a provocative selection of rarely-seen shows of high quality, while continuing to sharpen their skills!
