Wild Rice is looking for an actor to join the cast of The Serangoon Gardens Techno Party of 1993, a new play that will premiere as part of Wild Rice’s 2025 season.

Written by Joel Tan and directed by Sim Yan Ying “YY”, The Serangoon Gardens Techno Party of 1993 tells the story of 16-year-old Candice as she embarks on the mind-bending adventure of a lifetime. In one night of youthful abandon, Candice experiences the darkness and rebellion simmering beneath the orderly surface of 1990s Singapore.
