1 Oct 2010

Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore

W!LD RICE, Singapore’s leading professional theatre company celebrated our 10th Anniversary in 2010. To celebrate this milestone, Rice Ball ’10, our annual Fundraising Gala, organised in association with PRESTIGE Magazine, took place on Friday, 1st October at the Island Ballroom, Shangri-La Hotel.

The Rice Ball is today, one of the most fabulous, fun and talked about fundraisers on the Singapore social calendar, where Singapore’s great and good come together to provide a critical financial lifeline to the company, a registered charity. With the National Arts Council Major Grant funding amounting to less than 4% of the company’s operating costs, proceeds from the evening’s festivities will go directly towards supporting the company’s artistic and educational programming.

The theme for 2010 was THE RED HOT CHILLI PADI BALL, and it was an unforgettable evening of good company, a sumptuous feast by the chefs of Shangri-La Hotel, and, as ever, a fabulous show starring the best of Singapore theatre, The dress code was “Red, Hot and Spicy”, setting the tone for a truly exciting event.
